Rapid adjustments to autonomic control of cardiac rhythm at the onset of isometric exercise in healthy young adults.

ABSTRACT: Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) influences on cardiac rhythm at the onset of exercise, a time of rapid autonomic adjustments, are clinically important areas of investigation. Continuous wavelet transform (CWT) involves time-frequency-based heart rate variability (HRV) analysis allowing investigation of autonomic influences on cardiac rhythm during short durations of exercise. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to characterize SNS and PNS influences on cardiac rhythm at the onset of isometric exercise in healthy young adults. CWT analysis was retrospectively applied to R-R interval data (electrocardiogram) previously collected from 14 healthy young adults (26 ± 2 years) who performed 30-s, one-legged, isometric, calf exercise at 70% maximal vo
