Abstract Details

2018, Master of Science, Miami University, Exercise and Health Studies.
To assess heart rate variability (HRV) as a sensitive marker to exercise training, health and fitness, acute exercise, and prolonged altitude exposure, 10-minute resting HRV was assessed in cohorts of: Miami University intercollegiate athletes and healthy, active controls; endurance-trained cyclists and healthy, active controls; & novice college-aged trekkers and experienced middle-aged (46±12yrs) Nepali trekking guides. HRV was compared with health biomarkers and between athlete types and controls. Cyclists and controls underwent a maximal exercise bout, and recovery HRV was calculated. HRV was assessed on novice trekkers at 3 altitudes and compared to Nepali guides. Athlete type had no effect on HRV, while race did, and HRV correlated with health biomarkers. Cyclists experienced an improved HRV recovery post-exercise that was predicted by higher VO2max compared to healthy controls. Resting HRV decreased from baseline at 1900m altitude, but increased back to baseline at 4500m, where students had two-fold higher HRV than experienced Nepali guides. This response was predicted by resting HR collected before ascent at 300m. HRV was a sensitive marker to exercise training, health and fitness, acute exercise, and prolonged altitude exposure, but further confirmatory and more powerful research is needed.
