Background: Post-exercise recovery phase is associated with clustering of various cardiovascular events and, therefore, monitoring of cardiac autonomic control via heart rate variability (HRV) during this phase may allow identification of autonomic alterations that are not evident under resting conditions in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.
Purpose: To investigate and compare the diagnostic performance of resting and post-exercise HRV for detecting cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in T2DM patients.
Methods: Forty-two T2DM patients were categorized as CAN-positive and CAN-negative based on standard cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests (CARTs). Short-term resting and post-exercise HRV after a graded exercise test were evaluated for each participant. Diagnostic performance of both resting and post-exercise HRV measures was computed using standard statistical procedures.
Results: Diagnostic testing yielded superior diagnostic performance of post-exercise HRV than resting HRV measures. Root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) between adjacent R-R intervals (p = 0.01), percentage of consecutive N-N intervals that vary by >50 ms (pNN50) (p = 0.03) and total power (TP) (p = 0.01) were significantly better diagnostic indicators of CAN under post-exercise conditions than at rest. Predictive ability of these post-exercise HRV measures for CAN was maintained after adjusting various clinical confounders to cardiac autonomic function.
Conclusion: Post-exercise HRV measures such as TP, RMSSD and pNN50 were found to be more accurate diagnostic tests for detecting CAN than resting HRV. Hence, monitoring of the HRV measures proposed here during exercise testing protocols may provide important diagnostic information regarding CAN in T2DM.

The effects of triathlon exercise on cardiac function are well documented. While Olympic triathlon (swim-bike-run) remains the standard format, increasing concerns about water quality in natural waterways present ongoing challenges for open-water swimming events, highlighting the potential need to consider alternative formats such as duathlon (run-bike-run) in some circumstances. An additional run may increase the overall metabolic and cardiovascular demand compared with the swim in triathlon, leading to reduced future performance.

Background And Aims: Post-exercise recovery strategies include massage, low-intensity active exercise, thermal contrast, hydration, and nutritional and herbal approaches. These strategies aim to accelerate recovery, enhance performance, and optimise the physical training process. L-arginine (L-ARG) is the physiological precursor of nitric oxide (NO), a crucial mediator of vasodilation and the inhibition of platelet aggregation.

Background: and purpose: The autonomic recovery after exercise provides information about the cardiovascular overload employed during the training session. The autonomic response over a training course is unclear in exercises performed at high intensities, such as kettlebell training. The study aimed to characterize the cardiac autonomic modulation after exercise in three distinct phases of a high-intensity kettlebell training program in young women.

Article Synopsis
- * Twelve prehypertensive and hypertensive men participated in a trial that included either aerobic exercise or IPC before exercise, with various cardiovascular metrics monitored throughout the experiment.
- * Results showed that while combining the two interventions did not change blood pressure or heart rate responses, IPC helped maintain baroreflex sensitivity post-exercise and led to lower blood pressure during sleep compared to aerobic exercise alone.

Purpose: Exercise training requires the careful application of training dose to maximize adaptation while minimizing the risk of illness and injury. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a potent method for improving health and fitness but generates substantial autonomic imbalance. Assuming a supine posture between intervals is a novel strategy that could enhance physiological readiness and training adaptations.
