Key result
Regular aerobic training in older men was associated with greater resting heart rate variability at high frequencies (5.98 vs 5.23) and lower resting heart rate compared to untrained controls.
Why the study?
Does regular aerobic training improve resting heart rate variability in older men?
Cross-Sectional (n=22)
Does regular aerobic training improve resting heart rate variability in older men?
Absolute Event Rate: 5.98% vs 5.23%
Regular aerobic exercise in older men is associated with greater levels of resting heart rate variability, suggesting preserved cardiac autonomic function.

Supports autonomic benefits of aerobic training in older men; leaves open causality and need for prospective outcome trials.
Boutcher et al. (1997) reported a cross-sectional. Aerobic training vs. Untrained was evaluated on Heart rate variability (HRV(ts)) at high frequencies. Regular aerobic training in older men was associated with greater resting heart rate variability at high frequencies (5.98 vs 5.23) and lower resting heart rate compared to untrained controls.
