Key result
The 30-second Wingate Anaerobic Test significantly decreased heart rate variability parameters such as Mean RR, with no signs of parasympathetic recovery during the first 60 seconds post-exercise.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to investigate ultra-short heart rate variability during the Wingate Anaerobic Test and parasympathetic reactivation in the first 60-sec after the test in sedentary healthy men.

Does the Wingate Anaerobic Test alter ultra-short heart rate variability and parasympathetic reactivation in sedentary healthy men?
In sedentary healthy men, a 30-second maximal anaerobic exercise test causes a dramatic decrease in parasympathetic activity with no signs of recovery in the first 60 seconds post-exercise.

HRV suppression may persist early after Wingate testing in sedentary men; leaves open ultra-short HRV utility for autonomic recovery assessment.
The aim of present study was to investigate the sedentary healthy men’s ultra-short heart rate variability (HRV) during the Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT) (30-sec) and parasympathetic reactivation in the first 60-sec after WAnT. The final sample comprised 101 individuals (Mean±SD; Age=28.9±4.8 years, Height=176.5±5.5 cm, Weight=89.8±8.8 kg). Anaerobic powers were measured by WAnT. Heart rate variability (HRV) was then recorded as 60-sec before the test for 30-sec and 60-sec after the test. HRV was measured by Polar V800 GPS Sports Watch with Heart Rate Monitor and Polar H7 band. To compare the testing stages HRV parameters, repeated one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used. Binary comparisons were determined with the Bonferroni test. The relationship between exercise data of heart rate variability and power average watt was assessed by the Pearson correlation test. The Effect Size Cohen's d was calculated. The main finding of this study is that pre-test (60-sec) HRV values continue to drop dramatically during test (30-sec) and post-test (60-sec) measurements (p<0.05). Also, no correlation was observed between performance and HRV data during testing (r=-0.08, p>0.05). In conclusion, the present study was not observed to sign of HRV recovery during 60-sec after the 30-sec WAnT. HRV recorded in the first 60 seconds after maximum anaerobic exercise program in sedentary healthy men may be considered to exhibit an imbalance in the parasympathetic activity of the autonomic nervous system.

ALPARSLAN et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Healthy sedentary (n=101). Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT) vs. Pre-test baseline was evaluated on Mean RR interval (ms) (Cohen's d 0.94, p=<0.05). The 30-second Wingate Anaerobic Test significantly decreased heart rate variability parameters such as Mean RR, with no signs of parasympathetic recovery during the first 60 seconds post-exercise.
