A study of heart rate variability in sport person and non-sport person
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The heart is a specialized pump that functions by regular and continuous contractions for delivery of blood throughout the body. Aims and Objectives: To study Heart rate variability in Sport person and Non-sport person Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in the Department of Physiology of a tertiary health care center. The heart rate variability in the two Groups i.e. Sport and Non Sport person was studied during the study period i.e. March 2015 to April 2015 in the two groups i.e. Sports i.e. those who aged 20-50. The statistical analysis done by paired t-test calculated by SPSS version 19 software. Result: The HR in the Non-Sport person persons were significantly higher at rest and peak of the anaerobic exercise i.e. 73.5 ± 9.12 and 62.7± 7.82 and 192.21±10.1 and 185.43 ± 5.9 respectively (p< 0.001, t = 3.4817, df = 28, P<0.03, t = 2.2449, df = 28 ), but at Anaerobic Threshold was higher in Sport person as compared to Non-Sport person i.e. 192.21±10.1 and 185.43 ± 5.9 respectively (P<0.03, t = 2.2449, df = 28). In the Aerobic exercise the HR was significantly higher in Non-sport person at rest, threshold and at Peak as compared to sport person i.e. 70.51 ± 10.12 and 60.4± 6.67 105.21± 8.79 and 87 ± 6.72 ; 142±11.2 and 112 ± 5.9 (p<0.003, t = 3.2306, df = 28, p<0.0001, t = 6.3742, df = 28, P<0.0001, t = 9.1784, df = 28 ) respectively. Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that except to anaerobic exercise at threshold the Heart rate was significantly higher in Non -sport person as compared to Sport person in both Aerobic and anaerobic exercise.
