“…While the conventional HF band of 0.15–0.40 Hz has often been employed during exercise (Tulppo et al, 1996, 1998; Hautala et al, 2003; Leicht et al, 2008; Fisher et al, 2009; Boettger et al, 2010), this band may not be suitable during exercise where higher respiratory frequencies are observed, and therefore different lower limits such as 0.18 Hz have previously been employed (Radaelli et al, 1996; Spadacini et al, 2006), as have different upper limits including 0.35 Hz (Spadacini et al, 2006), 0.50 Hz (Dixon et al, 1992; Avery et al, 2001; Povea et al, 2005), 0.80 Hz (Lunt et al, 2011), 1.00 Hz (Pichon et al, 2004; Casties et al, 2006; Martinmaki and Rusko, 2008), 1.20 Hz (Martinmaki et al, 2008), 1.50 Hz (Perini et al, 2006; Michael et al, 2016), and 2.00 Hz (Cottin et al, 2006). Furthermore, most studies report absolute power (ms 2 ) Yamamoto et al, 1991; Saito and Nakamura, 1995; Tulppo et al, 1996; Hautala et al, 2003; Pichon et al, 2004; Spadacini et al, 2006; Leicht et al, 2008; Martinmaki and Rusko, 2008; Martinmaki et al, 2008; Fisher et al, 2009, although some report power spectral density (ms 2 .Hz −1 ) (Avery et al, 2001; Povea et al, 2005; Casties et al, 2006).…”
