Interval training in elderly men increases both heart rate variability and baroreflex activity

Abstract: Intensive endurance training in elderly men enhanced parasympathetic parameters of HRV and, interestingly, of SBR. Physiological mechanisms and long-term clinical effects on health status should be further investigated.

“…The repeated measurement of ANS activity along with other conditions associated with ANS activity levels, such as physical activity [62,63] , diseases including hypertension [64][65][66][67] , orthostatic hypotension [68][69][70] , and its biological markers [71] , sleep-related breathing disorders, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and the inflammatory status will provide a unique opportunity to describe the chronology of predictors and events. Consequently, the assessment of the inflammatory status is of particular importance as it may be a major factor of ANS activity alteration as neural control of inflammation is reflexive, directly interconnected and controllable [72] .…”

“…However, its effect on HRV after aerobic training programs and the expected positive correlation between higher levels of aerobic fitness and HRV remains controversial. Studies have shown that older adults engaged in physical activity for several years have higher levels of HRV than sedentary ones [12][13][14] . On the other hand, there is evidence that aerobic training programs do not exert significant influence on HRV indices in middle-aged individuals 5,15 -17 .…”

“…Furthermore, this type of protocol may be used for submaximal intensity evaluation by non-medical health care professionals, as it does not produce maximum stress, decreasing the potential for cardiovascular events. Therefore, the discontinuous protocol can be an alternative to the prescription of physical activity in healthy subjects 12,13 and patients with pathologies 14 .…”
