Key result
Aerobic exercise in female endurance-trained athletes resulted in a significant, progressive reduction in recovery heart rate at each 30-second interval over a 5.5-minute recovery period (p<0.05).

Does acute aerobic exercise lead to a progressive decrease in recovery heart rate in female endurance-trained athletes?
In female endurance-trained athletes, heart rate significantly and progressively decreases during the first 5.5 minutes of recovery following acute aerobic exercise.
May support enhanced autonomic recovery in trained female athletes; leaves open generalizability and clinical relevance.
The aim of the present study was to examine the recovery heart rate response immediately after aerobic exercise. To achieve the purpose of the study, 15 female endurance-trained athletes who attended university coaching camp at Annamalai University, Chidambaram were selected. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 to 25 years as per university record. To assess the variability in recovery heart rate the heart rate was assessed at five different time of 30 second at 1:00 to 1:30, 2:00 to 2:30, 3:00 to 3:30, 4:00 to 4:30and 5:00 to 5:30 minutes after immediately cessation of Coopper twelve minutes run test. The collected data was analysed using One-Way Repeated Measure ANOVA for comparisons of mean values among five different times of recovery heart rate. When F is significant Scheffe’s test was applied as post hoc test to determine the paired mean difference if any, among different times of the recovery heart rate. The value of 0.05 was set for statistical significance. The results of study showed that there was significant difference in recovery pulse rate among first recovery period, second recovery period, third recovery period, fourth recovery period, fifth recovery period as an acute response to aerobic exercise.

P Kulothungan (2016) conducted an observational in Healthy female endurance-trained athletes (n=15). Cooper twelve minutes run/walk test vs. Repeated measures at different recovery time intervals was evaluated on Recovery heart rate at 30-second intervals up to 5.5 minutes post-exercise (p=<0.05). Aerobic exercise in female endurance-trained athletes resulted in a significant, progressive reduction in recovery heart rate at each 30-second interval over a 5.5-minute recovery period (p<0.05).
