Effect of Emotional Stimulation on Exercise Heart Rate
Key result
Painful or threatening stimuli during exercise increased pulse rate by 4-7 beats/minute in emotionally stable boys and by over 25 beats/minute in an emotionally labile patient.
Why the study?
Does emotional stimulation alter pulse rate during submaximal exercise tests in boys?
Population
10 boys (9 emotionally stable boys and 1 emotionally labile patient)

Implication
Emotional stimuli may exaggerate pulse rate during submaximal tests in labile patients; leaves open standardization of testing conditions.

Does emotional stimulation alter pulse rate during submaximal exercise tests in boys?
P
Population
10 participants (9 emotionally stable boys and 1 emotionally labile patient) undergoing submaximal work tests.
E
Exposure
Painful or threatening stimuli (emotional stimulation) during exercise

Outcome
Pulse rate (heart rate) during exercisesurrogate
Emotional factors, such as painful or threatening stimuli, can significantly increase heart rate during submaximal exercise tests, particularly in emotionally labile individuals.
