Post-exercise heart rate variability recovery after 800-m endurance run load among Cameroonian adolescent's males.

The 800-m (m) run is part of Physical Education classes in Cameroon, after which arrhythmias may occur during recovery. Hence, this study aimed at determining relationship between 800-m run loads on cardiac autonomic recovery among school adolescents. Forty-two male adolescents (aged [17 ​± ​1] years) performed 800-m.

Pre- and post-exercise electrocardiogram pattern modifications in apparently healthy school adolescents in Cameroon.

Background Physical Education and Sport (PES) is compulsory in Cameroonian education system. Cardiac accidents and sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) have been reported during PES examinations. This study aimed to contribute in the prevention of these cardiac accidents by studying pre- and post-exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern modifications in apparently healthy school adolescents.
