“…This model explained that after administering a stress task, the cognition can lead to experience some negative emotions (e.g., sadness or anxiety), and these negative emotions can increase sympathetic arousal prolonging negative emotions (and vice‐versa). Differently, other studies reported that the cardiovascular recovery was relatively faster for unemotional tasks compared to emotional tasks (e.g., mental arithmetic with harassment; Bunn, Manor, Wells, Catanzarito, Kincer, & Eschbach, 2017; Linden, Earle, Gerin, & Christenfeld, 1997).…”

Rumination is described as the propensity of responding to distress by repetitively and passively focusing on one's negative emotions, and failures, and their consequences (Nolen-Hoeksema, 1991, 1998). Therefore, given that rumination is characterized especially by difficulties in managing and controlling negative emotional states, it is considered as the most common (impaired) emotional regulation strategy, and can be defined as an emotional process related to a repetitive, undesired, and past-oriented negatively inclined thought (Compare, Zarbo, Shonin, Van Gordon, & Marconi, 2014; Smith & Alloy, 2009). Recent evidence suggested that because of problems related to monitoring of negative states, rumination may be associated with exaggerated physiological reactivity relative to demands from the environment, and to some difficulties in attentional control abilities. The current study aimed at deepening our understanding of the role that a maladaptive emotional regulation strategysuch as ruminationmight play in physiological response changes and in engaging dysfunctional attentional strategies. We used a multimethod assessment including self-reports (i.e., Rumination and Reflection Questionnaire, and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale), physiological measures, (i.e., Heart Rate Variability recording), and attention tasks (i.e., Stroop Task) in order to examine the multiple aspects of rumination across genders. Sixty-eight individuals (30 males and 38 females) were administered DERS À16, RRQ and, soon after them, the Stroop task. Immediately after completing the Stroop task (T1), participants were exposed to a three-phase, baseline-stress-recovery experimental paradigm while their heart rate variability (HRV) was recorded. After completing the experimental paradigm, Stroop stimuli were presented for the second time (T2), in order to examine possible intra-individual differences between the two performances in the Stroop task. Our findings showed that rumination was higher in females than in males, but in men it appeared to be strongly associated with an overall impaired emotional regulation. However, no gender differences in rumination and emotion dysregulation were found when inspecting physiological data. The current study aims to contribute towards a better understanding which emotion regulation strategies and which physiological mechanisms are associated with rumination.

“…This result could be explained by hyperactivation of the PNS via central, cardiac, and/or peripheral mechanisms as suggested by some authors [ 19 , 20 ]. This decrease in resting HR in athletes could also be due to training, which could induce an increase in plasma volume, allowing for a greater stretch of the heart and an increase in stroke volume, as well as a greater sensitivity of the PNS, thus improving the physical condition of the subject undergoing this training [ 18 , 21 ]. Indeed, optimal physical conditioning, coupled with adequate recovery, creates a healthy “imbalance” between the activities of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems in favour of greater vagal dominance.…”

Background. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is a useful method for assessing the heart’s ability to adapt to endogenous and exogenous loads. Data from African population on HRV are scarce and even more so in sports populations. This study aimed to compare cardiac autonomic modulation response in Cameroonian athletes and sedentary. Methodology. We conducted a prospective and analytical study in sports teams in the city of Yaoundé, Cameroon. The participants in our study were divided in three groups; people who practiced little or no sporting activity (sedentary as group 1) or who were regularly physically active as part of a sports team (footballers or handballers as second and third groups). They had to be aged 18 or over and have given their informed consent. Heart rate (HR) was continuously recorded at rest for ten minutes and then transferred to a computer equipped with Kubios HRV Standard software for analysis. Means ± mean standard errors were compared using the one-way ANOVA test, followed by Tukey’s post-test. The significance threshold was set at 0.05. Results. Of the 60 people selected to participate to our study, 75.0% were sportsmen (40.0% handball players and 35.0% footballers). The resting HR of sedentary people was higher (p<0.001) than that of footballers and handball players. The SDNN, RMSSD, and pNN50 of sedentary people (16.22 ± 1.04; 9.97 ± 0.46; and 0.16 ± 0.06) were lower than those of footballers (30.13 ± 2.93; 20.61 ± 2.46; and 2.99 ± 0.63, with p<0.001) and handball players (29.00 ± 1.86; 16.44 ± 1.16; and 2.15 ± 0.38, with p<0.001 and p<0.05 respectively). Absolute and relative very-low-frequency (VLF) power, absolute low and high-frequency (LF and HF) power, as well as total power (TP) were lower in sedentary people (3.66 ± 0.08 and 16.21 ± 0.64; 5.04 ± 0.15 and 2.50 ± 0.16 and 246.40 ± 18.04) compared to footballers (5.09 ± 0.24 and 26.87 ± 1.76; 5.85 ± 0.32 and 3.92 ± 0.22 and 836.10 ± 103.70, with p<0.001, p<0.01, and p<0.001) and handball players (4.86 ± 0.16 and 30.82 ± 2.67; 6.03 ± 0.19 and 3.46 ± 0.16 and 927.30 ± 94.12, with p<0.001, p<0.05, p<0.01, and p<0.001). The LF/HF ratio was 12.1% and 20.1% lower in sedentary people (7.55 ± 0.58) compared with footballers (8.46 ± 0.50) and handball players (9.07 ± 0.60), respectively. Conclusion. Sportsmen showed greater parasympathetic and global modulation when compared to sedentary people.

Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) indicates cardiovascular endurance in evaluating overall health and physical performance. The CPX method is accurate, but accessibility is lower due to issues related to cost and complexity. For this reason, the Harvard Step Test and Queen's College Step Test are drawing interest. Step-based tests are influenced by factors such as leg length, requiring an investigation into the correlation between leg length and VO₂max estimation using these methods. This study investigates the influence of leg length on predicted VO₂max (pVO2max) determined through both the Harvard Step Test and the Queen's College Step Test. The assessment of VO2max was carried out using CPX on a treadmill. Measurements were obtained through the Harvard Step Test and Queen's College Step Test on steps. The participants were informed about the experimental procedure, and the experiment was conducted 24 hours later. The experiment maintained controlled conditions, and each measurement was conducted as a single trial, repeated three times for accuracy. The study found a significant positive correlation (r = 0.595, P < 0.05) between CPX VO2max and lower leg length. Lower leg length was found to significantly influence exercise intensity as determined by both the Harvard Step Test pVO2max (explaining 35.4% of the variance, P < 0.05) and the Queen's College Step Test pVO2max (explaining 30% of the variance, P < 0.05). It is recommended to adjust the step height to the individual's body size when estimating exercise difficulty or pVO2max using step-based exercises.
