  This article examines and analyses Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in short-distance runners. Sports are known to increase total HRV, with athletes having relatively higher variability than the general population. The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is divided into two subsystems: the sympathetic being activated during exercise and the parasympathetic during rest. In this research, their behaviour during training (physical exertion) can be considered stress for the body. During exercise, HRV decreases, RR intervals become shorter and more uniformand heart rate increases due to increased sympathetic and decreased parasympathetic activity. During rest and recovery, HRV begins to rise. The inability to return HRV to pre-exercise levels within a reasonable time is considered a chronic impairment in the activity of the ANS, which can lead to overtraining. Avoiding overtraining will improve ath.. Read More»
