Key result
Physical activity during waking hours significantly influenced average heart rate (r=0.64, P=0.021) and sample entropy (r=-0.55, P=0.022), while long-term HRV indexes remained relatively stable.

Supports long-term HRV for ambulatory autonomic assessment; leaves open activity effects on short-term and complexity measures.
Observational (n=45)
Does physical activity influence different measures of heart rate variability during ambulatory conditions in healthy adults?
Effect estimate: r = 0.64 (HR); r = -0.55 (sample entropy)
p-value: p=0.021 (HR); 0.022 (sample entropy)
Long-term HRV indexes remain relatively stable at various activity levels, making them robust for assessing cardiac autonomic function during ambulatory conditions, whereas complexity measures and short-term indexes are influenced by physical activity.
Hautala et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=45). Physical activity was evaluated on Correlation between HRV indexes and physical activity (r = 0.64 (HR); r = -0.55 (sample entropy), p=0.021 (HR); 0.022 (sample entropy)). Physical activity during waking hours significantly influenced average heart rate (r=0.64, P=0.021) and sample entropy (r=-0.55, P=0.022), while long-term HRV indexes remained relatively stable.
