Abstract

PURPOSE: This study examined the effect of various modes of exercise on parasympathetic reactivation in children.

METHODS: Twelve healthy boys volunteered for this study. Time domain measurement of heart rate variability in 5 and 10 min and heart rate recovery (HRR) in 1 (HRR1) and 2 min (HRR2) were measured during recovery after incremental exercise tests by a 12-lead ECG. Incremental exercise tests were performed using either upper (arm cranking) or lower body (cycling) ergometers.

RESULTS: The amounts of increase in RMSSD and PNN50 in 5 and 10 min of recovery were higher in arm cranking compared to cycling. HRR1 and HRR2 were significantly higher after arm cranking compared to cycling.

CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that parasympathetic reactivation is likely greater following exercises that use smaller muscle mass (arm cranking) rather than larger muscle mass (cycling) in healthy boys.
