Factors and Characteristics of Heart Rate Variability in Runners

Factors and Characteristics of Heart Rate Variability During Long Distance Running

The purpose of this study is to describe the variation characteristics and factors of the heart rate variability during long-distance running.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Heart Rate Variability; Sports Accident
• Intervention / Treatment: Behavioral: a long-distance running (over 3 km)

Detailed Description

Heart rate variability is recognized as the indicator to measure the autonomic nerve activity. By monitoring the heart rate variability of runners during long-distance running, we could monitor the status of the runners' cardiovascular system and predict the exercise risk of runners during long-distance running.
