Differential Analysis of Heart Rate Variability in Repeated Continuous Performance Tests Among Healthy Young Men.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Executive function correlates with the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) based on static heart rate variability (HRV) measurements. Our study advances this understanding by employing dynamic assessments of the PNS to explore and quantify its relationship with inhibitory control (IC).

Methods

We recruited 31 men aged 20-35 years. We monitored their electrocardiogram (ECG) signals during the administration of the Conners' Continuous Performance Test-II (CCPT-II) on a weekly basis over 2 weeks. HRV analysis was performed on ECG-derived RR intervals using 5-minute windows, each overlapping for the next 4 minutes to establish 1-minute intervals. For each time window, the HRV metrics extracted were: mean RR intervals, standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN), low-fre
