Key result
Track and field athletes show greater cardiovascular reserves and myocardial fitness than floorball players.
Why the study?
To evaluate the peculiarities of heart rate variability and microcirculation in university student athletes based on their sport specialization.
Does sports specialization (athletics vs floorball) affect heart rate variability and microcirculation in student athletes?
Cross-Sectional (n=96)

p-value: p=<0.05
Endurance sports training (athletics) in students is associated with greater cardiovascular adaptive resources and more optimal autonomic regulation compared to floorball.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Endurance training linked to better autonomic function in students; hypothesis-generating and should not guide practice without longitudinal data.
Мартусевич et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy student athletes (n=96). Athletics (track and field) vs. Floorball was evaluated on Heart rate variability and microcirculation parameters (p=<0.05). Track and field athletes demonstrated larger adaptive cardiovascular resources and a more optimal level of myocardial fitness compared to floorball players.
