Autonomic Modulation Recovery After Acute Resistance Exercise

September 23, 2020 updated by: Luiz Carlos Marques Vanderlei, Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho

Autonomic Modulation Recovery After Acute Resistance Exercise in Different Intensities and Body Segments

To analyze the autonomic behavior in recovery post-acute resistance exercise performed in different intensities and body segments.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Resistance training (RT) is recommended to people with different health condition. RT is recognized as safe and effective method of increasing muscle strength, physical fitness, muscle mass, and overall cardiovascular health. The magnitude of the RT effects is associated with the structure of the training program. Understanding these aspects may provide guidance for the RT prescription while reducing potential risk of cardiovascular events associated with the recovery period after exercise. The objective of the study is to compare the acute responses of the Autonomic Nervous System post RT performed with different intensities (endurance and strength) in different body segments (UL and LL). Our hypothesis is that different intensities and body segments influence the acute responses of the ANS in the post RT recovery period.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Acute responses of the Autonomic Nervous System post Resistance Training of the time-domain indices of Heart Rate Variability
Time Frame: the moments before and immediately after Resistance Training, performed with different intensities (endurance and strength) and body segments (UL and LL).

Understand the effect of acute responses of the time-domain indices of Heart Rate Variability, RMSSD, and SDNN, comparing the behavior of these indices of in rest periods and immediate recovery after effort. Besides, to analyze the changes observed when applying different training intensities (endurance protocol 40% 1RM, and strength protocol 80% 1 RM) and body segments (elbow flexion [UL] and knee extension [LL]).

RMSSD: root mean square of the successive differences between the RR intervals in the record, divided by the number of RR intervals in a given time minus one RR interval SDNN: standard deviation of all normal RR intervals.

the moments before and immediately after Resistance Training, performed with different intensities (endurance and strength) and body segments (UL and LL).
Acute responses of the Autonomic Nervous System post Resistance Training of the geometric indices of Heart Rate Variability
Time Frame: the moments before and immediately after Resistance Training, performed with different intensities (endurance and strength) and body segments (UL and LL).

Understand the effect of acute responses of the geometric indices of Heart Rate Variability, SD1, SD2, comparing the behavior of these indices of in rest periods and immediate recovery after effort. Besides, to analyze the changes observed when applying different training intensities (endurance protocol 40% 1RM, and strength protocol 80% 1 RM) and body segments (elbow flexion [UL] and knee extension [LL]).

SD1: standard deviation of diagonal points SD2: standard deviation from longitudinal points
