Gender-related autonomic cardiac modulation in young elite athletes

OBJECTIVE Physical exercise induces beneficial effects on cardiac autonomic activity with higher parasympathetic tone. Studies of gender-related differences in autonomic cardiac regulation indicate higher vagal activity in young women compared to men. The purpose of this study was to evaluate gender...

Description
Summary:OBJECTIVE Physical exercise induces beneficial effects on cardiac autonomic activity with higher parasympathetic tone. Studies of gender-related differences in autonomic cardiac regulation indicate higher vagal activity in young women compared to men. The purpose of this study was to evaluate gender-related autonomic cardiac modulation in young elite athletes by using heart rate variability (HRV) analysis.
