Key result
Continuous heart rate variability monitoring during alpine skiing demonstrated age-related differences, with the younger subject showing higher total variability and more pronounced respiratory sinus arrhythmia compared to the older subject.

Supports feasibility of continuous HRV monitoring during alpine skiing; leaves open clinical relevance of age-related autonomic differences.
Observational (n=2)
No
Continuous HRV monitoring during alpine skiing is feasible and highlights age-related reductions in autonomic nervous system responsiveness.
Litscher et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Healthy volunteers (n=2). Alpine skiing vs. Resting periods was evaluated on Heart rate variability (HRV) using 'Fire of Life' analysis. Continuous heart rate variability monitoring during alpine skiing demonstrated age-related differences, with the younger subject showing higher total variability and more pronounced respiratory sinus arrhythmia compared to the older subject.
