Implication

Pitchers show lower day-2 HRV post-start; hypothesis-generating for autonomic recovery monitoring, should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Population

8 Single-A level professional baseball starting pitchers (mean ± SD, age = 21.9 ± 1.3 years; height = 185.4 ± 3.6 cm; weight = 85.2 ± 7.5 kg)

Outcome

Changes in resting heart rate variability (HRV) quantified by lnRMSSD across a 5-day pitching rotation schedulesurrogate

Professional baseball starting pitchers display altered autonomic nervous system function 1 day after a start, with significantly lower resting HRV on day 2 of the rotation.
