A comparative study was used to analyze the difference in autonomic balance assessed by time and frequency domain parameters of heart rate variability (HRV) between students athletes and non-sportsmen. Five-minute digital ECG trays were recorded in 21 students - athletes, 10 basketball players recruited from first league clubs of No- vi Sad and the Serbian representatives and 11 rowers from the Novi Sad rowing club 'Danubius'. The control group was formed by 15 non-sportsmen, students of the Medical faculty in Novi Sad who underwent the same registrations. Time and frequency-domain of HRV were analyzed by a software developed by the company 'Neurosoft', VNS-Spektr, Ivanovo, Russia. Resting heart rate in athletes was significantly lower (p < 0.01) than in non-sportsmen. In time-domain parameters HRV significantly higher values were present in the group of sportsmen as opposed to non-sportsmen RRNN (p < 0.01), RMSSD (p < 0.02) and pNN50 (p < 0.01). In frequency-domain of HRV statistically significant difference between the two groups was observed only in normalized values of LF and HF (p < 0.05) and their ratio LF/HF (p < 0.02). LFn was larger in non-sportsmen than in students-athletes. On the other hand HFn was larger in athletes than in non-sportsmen. The LF/HF ratio was larger in non-sportsmen (2.87 0.34) than in athletes (1.91 0.20). After dividing the athletes recruited for this investigation into two groups (basketball players and rowers) significant level of difference (p < 0.05) in HRV data was present only in the VLF spectrum (2060.55 290.68 ms2 for rowers and 1303.30 ? 169.95 ms2 for basketball players).

The study purpose was estimation of the accuracy of RR time series measurements by SHC “Rytm” and validity of derived heart rate variability (HRV) indexes under physical loads and recovery period. Materials and methods. The participants were 20 healthy male adults aged 19.7 ± 0.23 years. Data was recorded simultaneously with CardioLab CE12, Polar RS800, and SHC “Rytm”. Test protocol included a 2 minute step test (20 steps per minute, platform height – 40 cm) with the next 3 minute recovery period. HRV indexes were calculated by Kubios HRV 2.1. Results. The RR data bias in the case of physical loads was -0.06 ms, it increased to 0.09-0.33 ms during the recovery period. The limits of agreement for RR data ranged from 3.7 ms to 22.8 ms, depending on the period of measurements and pair of compared devices. It is acceptable for the heart rate and HRV estimation. The intraclass correlation coefficients (0.62–1.00) and Spearman correlation coefficient (0.99) were high enough to suggest very high repeatability of the data. We found no significant difference (p > 0.05) and good correlation (r = 0.94-1.00) between the majority of HRV indexes, calculated from data of Polar RS800 and SHC “Rytm” in conditions of physical loads (except for LF/HF ratio) and in the recovery period. The only one index (RMSSD) was different (p < 0.05) in case of Polar RS800 and SHC “Rytm” data, obtained in the recovery period. The largest numbers of different HRV indexes have been found during the comparison of CardioLab CE12 and Polar RS800 – RMSSD, pNN50, and SD1. Correlation between HRV indexes (r = 0.81-1.00) was very high in all pairs of devices in all periods of measurements. Conclusions. The SHC “Rytm” appears to be acceptable for RR intervals registration and the HRV analysis during physical loads and recovery period.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to quantitatively analyze heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) by using a smartphone-based application (ANBAI: DUMSCO Inc.) for measurement, and to clarify its relationships with CSC. The subjects were 64 CSC patients (mean age 48.7 ± 7.6 years, 57 males and 7 females). After providing consent, the patients downloaded ANBAI apps to their smartphones. HRV was measured by photoelectric volume pulse wave measurement with a smartphone camera each morning for a minimum of 1 week. The primary outcome was to analyze HRV by calculating log LF/HF (Low Frequency/High Frequency components), an index of autonomic tone, which was then compared with a control group of 35,226 individuals from the application. Secondary outcome measures included disease duration, body mass index, exercise habits, smoking history, steroid use, occupation, lifestyle regularity, psychological fatigue, physical fatigue, and average sleep time. The log LF/HF was significantly higher in the patient group than in the control group (P < 0.001). Log LF/HF was significantly lower in patients with exercise habits as a factor contributing to log LF/HF in the patient group (P = 0.019). Analysis of HRV in CSC patients showed an impairment of the autonomic nervous system. Exercise habits may also be associated with CSC.

The effects of fatigue on a driver’s autonomic nervous system (ANS) were investigated through heart rate variability (HRV) measures considering the difference of sex. Electrocardiogram (ECG) data from 18 drivers were recorded during a simulator-based driving experiment. Thirteen short-term HRV measures were extracted through time-domain and frequency-domain methods. First, differences in HRV measures related to mental state (alert or fatigued) were analyzed in all subjects. Then, sex-specific changes between alert and fatigued states were investigated. Finally, sex differences between alert and fatigued states were compared. For all subjects, ten measures showed significant differences (Mann-Whitney U test, p < 0.01) between different mental states. In male and female drivers, eight and four measures, respectively, showed significant differences between different mental states. Six measures showed significant differences between males and females in an alert state, while ten measures showed significant sex differences in a fatigued state. In conclusion, fatigue impacts drivers’ ANS activity, and this impact differs by sex; more differences exist between male and female drivers’ ANS activity in a fatigued state than in an alert state.

Sympathovagal modulation during immersion in a virtual environment is an important influence on human performance of a task. The aim of this study is to investigate sympathovagal modulation using heart rate variability and perceived exertion during exercise in a virtual reality (VR) environment. Sixteen young healthy volunteers were tested while using a stationary bicycle and maintained at an anaerobic threshold intensity for exercise sessions of approximately 10 min duration. Four randomized viewing alternatives were provided including desktop monitor, projector, head mounted device (HMD), and no simulation display. The “no simulation display” served as the control group. A quick ramp exercise test was conducted and maintained at an anaerobic threshold intensity for each session to evaluate power spectral density and rating of perceived exertion (RPE). The sampled heart rate data were rearranged by cubic spline interpolation into power spectrums spanning the ultra-low frequency (ULF) to high frequency (HF) range. A significant difference was found between the no-display and projector groups for total power (TP) and very low frequency (VLF) components. In particular, there was a significant difference when comparing HMD and no-display exercise RPE curves within 6 min of cycling and at the termination of the exercise. A significant difference was also achieved in projector vs. control group comparison at the termination of the exercise. Our results indicate that the use of HMD and the projected VR during cycling can reduce the TP and VLF power spectral density through a proposed decrease in the renin-angiotensin system, with the implication that this humoral effect may enable anaerobic exercise for longer durations through a reduction in sympathetic tone and subsequent increased blood flow to the muscles.

The purpose of the study is to study the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation in children operated on for a ventricular septal defect, based on the dynamics of heart rate variability indicators. Material and methods of research. Heart rate variability was evaluated in 75 children operated on for ventricular septal defect. The control group (CG) consisted of 30 healthy children. The effectiveness of medical rehabilitation was assessed by the dynamics of heart rate variability indicators. Children of the 1st group (20 people) took the cardiometabolic drug Elkar at a dose of 30 mg/kg/day for 1 month. With children of the 2nd group (20 people) for 3 months, Nordic walking classes were held (NW). In addition, children of the 2nd group received the drug Elkar for 1 month (30 mg/kg). Results. According to the time analysis of heart rate variability, operated children had significantly lower values of SDNN 82 [69;103] (p<0.001), SDANNi 50.5 [39;87] (p<0.05), SDNNi 69.5 [54;80] (p<0.05), rMSSD 50.5 [39;87] (p<0.05), pNN50 % 18.4 [6.7;28.3] (p<0.05) lower power in the high-frequency range of the spectrum (p<0.001) and a change in the vegetative balance towards the predominance of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (LF/HF=3.16, p=0.009) than in the control group. After the treatment, there was no reliable HRV dynamics in children who received Elcar. There was a significant difference between SDNN and rMSSD with KG. In the second group, there was a significant increase in HRV according to SDNN data by 37.7 % (p<0.01), SDANNi by 45.6 % (p<0.05), rMSSD by 6.5 % (p<0.05), pNN50 % by 32.7 % (p<0.05). The difference in indicators with CG is leveled. Conclusions. In children operated on for VSD, there was a decrease in the parameters of the time analysis of HRV in comparison with healthy peers (p<0.05). The combined use of Nordic walking and Elkar have a normalizing effect on the HRV, causing a decrease in the tension of the Central circuit of heart rate regulation, significantly increasing the parasympathetic effect on the heart rate.
