Key result
A 6-week endurance training program decreased heart rate and increased parasympathetic modulation at rest and postexercise, with postexercise adaptations occurring within the first 7 days.
Why the study?

Endurance training may accelerate postexercise autonomic adaptations; hypothesis-generating in this cohort and leaves open randomized confirmation.
Does a 6-week endurance training program improve resting and postexercise cardiac autonomic control?
Endurance training improves cardiac autonomic control, with post-exercise adaptations occurring more rapidly (within 7 days) than resting adaptations.
Yamamoto et al. (2001) studied this question. Endurance training vs. Control group was evaluated on Resting and postexercise heart rate and heart rate variability. A 6-week endurance training program decreased heart rate and increased parasympathetic modulation at rest and postexercise, with postexercise adaptations occurring within the first 7 days.
