High eccentric strength training reduces heart rate variability in healthy older men

Abstract: The results of the present investigation suggest that high eccentric strength training performed by healthy older men increases peak torque and reduces systolic blood pressure. However, an autonomic imbalance towards sympathetic modulation predominance was induced by an unknown mechanism.

“…Ruiz et al 23 , for example, reported lower vagal reactivation 30 seconds after an aerobic exercise session, when comparing with a resistance training session and a combined session (aerobic+resistance). The sympathetic predominance during the recovery period, observed in our study, was also found in a previous study consisted of a resistance training program for 12 weeks with elderly people 24 . Nevertheless, the mechanisms that induce greater sympathetic modulation are poorly understood.…”

“…In studies using aerobic exercise, we observed that, just after the exercise completion, a rapid vagal reactivation occurs and the autonomic control becomes slower after exercises with higher metabolic demand 22 . Regarding the resistance exercise, few studies observed changes in the HRV 16,23,24 . Ruiz et al 23 , for example, reported lower vagal reactivation 30 seconds after an aerobic exercise session, when comparing with a resistance training session and a combined session (aerobic+resistance).…”

“…2,3 When performed regularly and in a systematic way this type of training promotes, among other benefits, increases in muscle strength and mass, increased bone mineral density and basal metabolic rate, helping to maintain body weight and improving quality of life. 2,4 Furthermore, when incorporated into a comprehensive program of fitness it is also capable of promoting weight loss, increasing the sense of wellbeing, preserving functional capacity and improving cardiovascular function and cardiac autonomic modulation. 5,6 Among the benefits provided by resistance training, its influence on cardiac autonomic modulation draws our attention because the autonomic nervous system controls some of the internal functions of the body and, accordingly, deserves detailed attention in interpreting the findings.…”
