Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of off-season training on natural bodybuilders' (BB) recovery compared to recreationally active (RA) individuals, focusing on how their autonomic nervous system (ANS) responds post-exercise.
- Despite comparing heart rate variability (HRV) metrics between the two groups, no significant differences were found at rest or during recovery, indicating similar baseline states.
- However, the BB group exhibited significantly lower HRV recovery at 15 minutes post-exercise and did not return to baseline levels within 45 minutes, suggesting poorer recovery compared to the RA group.
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive indicator of the activity of the autonomic nervous system, which regulates many physiological functions including metabolism. The purpose of this study was to quantify the relationship between resting markers of HRV and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) response. Eighteen healthy individuals (10 males, 8 females, (23.
