Implication

Extends HRV plateau observations to endurance athletes at similar intensities; hypothesis-generating without prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does the HRV plateau correspond to specific percentages of HRmax and VO2max in highly active endurance athletes?

Population

27 endurance athletes (skiing, cycling, running, and rowing); 17 men (mean age 29 ± 15 y) and 10 women (mean age 19 ± 3 y).

Intervention

Determination of HRV plateau using a Polar heart rate monitor during a slow to fast walking-jogging warm-up procedure, followed by a maximal exercise stress test on a treadmill.

Outcome

Relationship between HRV plateau, HRmax, and VO2maxsurrogate

The HRV plateau in endurance athletes occurs at similar relative intensities of HRmax and VO2max as previously observed in sedentary and moderately active individuals.
