Why the study?
Does vigorous exercise improve heart rate discrimination accuracy in subjects of varying physical fitness?
Population
36 subjects (equal numbers of male and female), divided into Sedentary, Tennis, and Distance Running groups.
Comparison
Vigorous exercise raising heart rate level by 75… vs Rest (baseline before exercise)

Vigorous exercise may enhance heart rate awareness in less fit individuals; leaves open fitness-specific effects on cardiac interoception.
Does vigorous exercise improve heart rate discrimination accuracy in subjects of varying physical fitness?
Vigorous exercise increases heart rate awareness in sedentary and moderately active individuals, but not in male distance runners who already possess high baseline awareness.
Jones et al. (1981) studied this question.
