Key result
Heart rate variability, specifically training day/reference day mean RR difference, significantly correlated with training load (r = -0.384, p < 0.01) in young male elite gymnasts.
Why the study?
Does heart rate variability monitoring reflect training load and psychophysiological status in young elite gymnasts?
Observational (n=6)
Does heart rate variability monitoring reflect training load and psychophysiological status in young elite gymnasts?
Effect estimate: r = -0.384
p-value: p=< 0.01
Heart rate variability, specifically training day/reference day mean RR or SD1 differences, may be a useful tool for monitoring training load and psychophysiological status in young elite gymnasts.

May support HRV for training load monitoring in gymnasts; leaves open value for overtraining prevention.
Sartor et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Healthy athletes (elite gymnasts) (n=6). Heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring was evaluated on Correlation between training day/reference day HRV difference and session rating of perceived exertion (RPE) (r = -0.384, p=< 0.01). Heart rate variability, specifically training day/reference day mean RR difference, significantly correlated with training load (r = -0.384, p < 0.01) in young male elite gymnasts.
