Physical fitness as a determinant of vagal modulation.

Abstract:

:The association between increasing age and decreasing vagal modulation is well known. However, the importance of fitness as a determinant of the decline in vagal modulation with age is not established. To test the hypothesis that decreasing vagal modulation is largely a function of declining fitness rather than increasing age, we studied a sample of healthy volunteers with a wide range of fitness levels, but a narrow age range. We assessed fitness by measuring the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) achieved during incremental bicycle exercise. Vagal modulation was assessed by calculating high frequency power (0.15-0.40 Hz) of the RR variability power spectrum from 24-h ECG recordings. We studied 37 healthy volunteers who were 22-44 yr old. In our sample, VO2max ranged from 25 to 70 mL.min-1.kg-1 (mean of 45 +/- 13). Age was not significantly related to high frequency power, but VO2max was highly correlated with high frequency power (r = 0.74, P = 0.0001), indicating that physical fitness is strongly associated with vagal modulation. Thus, the decline in vagal modulation often attributed to increasing age may, instead, be the result of a decline in fitness.

  • Effect of High-Intensity Training and Asthma on the V˙O2 Kinetics of Adolescents.

    abstract:PURPOSE:High-intensity interval training (HIIT) represents a potent stimulus to the dynamic oxygen uptake (V˙O2) response in adults, but whether the same is evident in youth is unknown. HIIT has also been suggested to place a lower demand on the respiratory system, decreasing the likelihood of exacerbation in those wit...
