Independent influence of age on heart rate recovery after flywheel exercise in trained men and women.

ABSTRACT: The present study examined whether differences in the heart rate recovery following flywheel exercise cessation were associated with differences in maximal oxygen uptake ([Formula: see text]O₂ max.), age and sex in trained adults. Eleven men (age range 22-49 years, [Formula: see text]O₂ max. = 43.6 ± 7.6 mL kg min^-1) and ten women (age range 20-53 years, [Formula: see text]O₂ max. = 38.0 ± 5.7 mL kg min^-1) were randomly assigned to complete a squat-exercise on the flywheel ergometer set at three different moments of inertia, while their cardiovascular responses were continuously monitored. During the flywheel exercise the mean arterial pressure rose by ~ 35 to 40% (p = .001), and the increment was more robust in men than women. The car
