[Assessment of reactivity of heart rhythm regulatory system in response to physical exertion]
Abstract:
The study involving 35 sportsmen and 35 non-sportsmen was undertaken to assess the reactivity of human heart sinus node in response to physical workload depending on the initial state of the blood circulation system. It is found that sportsmen have predominantly a hyperreactive type and non-sportsmen--a hyporeactive type of sinus node reactivity to workloads. Moreover, the reactivity of heart sinus node in response to physical workload depends considerably on the initial state of the system of blood circulation regulation at a relative rest. The regression equation for assessment of heart sinus node reactivity to workload is proposed.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
