Can heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) analyses monitor altered autonomic cardiovascular activity to avoid overtraining syndrome in athletes?
HRV and BRS analyses may provide useful markers to monitor autonomic cardiovascular activity and avoid overtraining syndrome in athletes.
Abruptly intensified physical training results in an altered autonomic cardiovascular activity towards parasympathetic inhibition and sympathetic activation that can be monitored by means of HRV and BRS analyses and might provide useful markers to avoid the overtraining syndrome.
Baumert et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
