Key result
Standing position resulted in lower heart rate variability compared to supine position in elite sprinters, with males showing a more notable change in cardiac autonomic stress than females.
Why the study?
Does standing position compared to supine position affect heart rate variability in elite male and female sprinters?
Cross-Sectional (n=18)
Does standing position compared to supine position affect heart rate variability in elite male and female sprinters?
Elite sprinters exhibit lower heart rate variability in the standing position compared to supine, with a more pronounced autonomic response in males.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Standing posture may elevate autonomic stress in elite sprinters, more in males; leaves open whether position-adjusted HRV monitoring informs training or sex-specific risk.
Abad et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy elite sprinters (n=18). Standing position vs. Supine position was evaluated on Heart rate variability (HRV) indices in time and frequency domains. Standing position resulted in lower heart rate variability compared to supine position in elite sprinters, with males showing a more notable change in cardiac autonomic stress than females.
