AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigated how heart rate variability changes during five different physical maneuvers to understand sympathetic and vagal activity levels.
  • Two methods for estimating spectral parameters were compared, showing similar results that were not influenced by the choice of method.
  • Breathing patterns significantly impacted heart rate variability during the controlled breathing phase, while other maneuvers displayed a typical pattern that helped differentiate sympathetic-vagal activity levels.

Article Abstract

The behavior of temporal and spectral parameters of the heart rate variability was determined during 5 different maneuvers in order to characterize the level of sympathetic-vagal activity. The discriminating capacity of two spectral parameter estimation schemes were compared, and the respiratory influence was evaluated. One hundred and ten records of instantaneous heart rate and respiratory amplitude were analyzed, both in temporal and spectral perspectives. The records were obtained from 22 healthy subjects, under a five-stage protocol: supine, controlled breathing, standing, exercise, and recovery. A discriminating and characteristic behavior was found among the maneuvers, specifically for the dispersion parameters, low and intermediate partial components. The two integration-normalization procedures used in the estimation of the spectral components showed similarities, producing a functional interpretation independent of the selected procedure. The division of the low frequency component in two separate bands, allowed an improved discriminating capacity. The respiration had an important influence in the controlled breathing maneuver while being lower in the rest of the stages. In conclusion, the maneuvers determined a typical behavior of the dispersion and spectral parameters (low and intermediate partial components) of the heart rate variability, showing adequate distinctive levels in the sympathetic-vagal activity for each maneuver.

Personalized sports training plans are essential for addressing individual athlete needs, but traditional methods often need to integrate diverse data types, limiting adaptability and effectiveness. Existing machine learning (ML) and rule-based approaches cannot dynamically generate context-specific training programs, reducing their applicability in real-world scenarios. This study aims to develop a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)- based framework to create context-specific training plans by integrating numeric attributes (e.

Purpose: Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a non-invasive therapeutic procedure that consists of irradiating a local area of the skin with red and near-infrared lasers or light emitting diodes (LEDs). Local PBM has been studied as a method to improve exercise performance and recovery. This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of whole-body PBM for exercise performance and recovery, comparing its findings to the established effects of localized PBM.

Unlabelled: It is known that in most cases of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), apnoeas and hypoventilation occur at birth. Nevertheless, a detailed description of initial symptoms, including pregnancy events and diagnostic tests performed, is warranted in infants with neonatal onset of CCHS, that is, in the first month of life. The European Central Hypoventilation Syndrome Consortium created an online patient registry from which 97 infants (44 females) with CCHS of neonatal onset and PHOX2B mutation from 10 countries were selected.
