Key result
High-level cycling training was associated with increased heart rate variability compared to controls, and meanNN correlated with left ventricular mass (r=0.48, p=0.038).
Why the study?
Does heart rate variability correlate with cardiac functional and metabolic variables in cyclists with training-induced left ventricular hypertrophy?
Population
22 male subjects, comprising 12 cyclists with training-induced left ventricular hypertrophy and 10 control…

Effect estimate: r = 0.48
p-value: p=0.038
Pluim et al. (1999) conducted an observational in Athlete's heart / left ventricular hypertrophy (n=22). High-level cycling training vs. Control subjects was evaluated on Correlation between heart rate variability (meanNN) and left ventricular mass (r = 0.48, p=0.038). High-level cycling training was associated with increased heart rate variability compared to controls, and meanNN correlated with left ventricular mass (r=0.48, p=0.038).
