Key result
Acute resistance exercise resulted in greater elevations in heart rate and greater reductions in absolute high-frequency and low-frequency power compared to acute endurance exercise (P<0.05).
Why the study?
Does acute resistance exercise compared to acute endurance exercise alter cardiac autonomic modulation during recovery in young males?
Population
14 male participants, mean age 25.3+/-2.5 years
Comparison
Single bout of acute resistance exercise vs Single bout of acute endurance exercise
Follow-up
30 minutes post-exercise

May indicate greater autonomic perturbation after resistance exercise; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice in broader populations.
Does acute resistance exercise compared to acute endurance exercise alter cardiac autonomic modulation during recovery in young males?
p-value: p=<0.05
Acute resistance exercise results in greater sustained elevations in heart rate and greater reductions in cardiac parasympathetic tone during early recovery compared to acute endurance exercise.
Heffernan et al. (2006) studied this question. Acute resistance exercise vs. Acute endurance exercise was evaluated on Heart rate and heart rate variability (HF and LF power) (p=<0.05). Acute resistance exercise resulted in greater elevations in heart rate and greater reductions in absolute high-frequency and low-frequency power compared to acute endurance exercise (P<0.05).
