Cardiac autonomic disturbance following sprint-interval exercise in untrained young males: Does exercise volume matter?

Objectives: This study examined the influences of the volume of all-out sprint-interval exercise (SIE) on acute post-exercise heart rate variability (HRV) recovery.

Methods: HRV recovery following a session of (i) 2 × 30-s SIE (SIE), (ii) 4 × 30-s SIE (SIE), and (iii) non-exercising control (CON) were compared in 15 untrained young males. Time domain [standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals, root mean square of successive R-R differences] and frequency domain [low frequency (0.
