    Heart rate recovery normality data recorded in response to a maximal exercise test in physically active men.
    (European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2014) Vicente Campos, Davinia; Martín López, Aurora; Núñez, María Jesús; López Chicharro, José
    Background. Despite a growing clinical interest in determining the heart rate recovery (HRR) response to exercise, the limits of a normal HRR have not yet been well established. Purpose. This study was designed to examine HRR following a controlled maximal exercise test in healthy, physically active adult men. Methods. The subjects recruited (n=789) performed a maximal stress test on a treadmill. HRR indices were calculated by subtracting the 1st and 3rd minute heart rates during recovery from the maximal heart rate obtained during stress testing and designated these as HRR-1 and HRR-3, respectively. The relative change in HRR was determined as the decrease in HR produced at the time points 1 min and 3 min after exercise as a percentage of the peak HR (%HRR-1/HRpeak and %HRR-3/HRpeak, respectively). Percentile values of HRR-1 and HRR-3 were generated for the study population. Results. Mean HHR-1 and HHR-3 were 15.24±8.36 bpm and 64.58±12.17 bpm, respectively and %HRR-1/HRpeak and %HRR-3/HRpeak were 8.60±4.70% and 36.35±6.79%, respectively. Significant correlation was detected between Peak VO2 and HRR-3 (r=0.36; p<0.001) or %HRR-3/HRpeak (r=0.23; p<0.001). Conclusions. Our study provides normality data for heart rate recovery following a maximal ergometry test obtained in a large population of physically active men.

    Effects of high-intensity interval versus continuous exercise training on post-exercise heart rate recovery in coronary heart-disease patients.
    (International Journal of Cardiology, 2017) Villelabeitia Jaureguizar, Koldobika; Vicente Campos, Davinia; Berenguel Senen, Alejandro; Hernández Jiménez, Verónica; Barrios Garrido-Lestache, María Elvira; López Chicharro, José
    Background: Heart rate recovery (HRR) has been considered a prognostic and mortality indicator in both healthy and coronary patients. Physical exercise prescription has shown improvements in VO2peak and HRR, but most of the studies have been carried out applying continuous training at a moderate intensity, being very limited the use of protocols of high intensity interval training in coronary patients. We aimed to compare the effects of a moderate continous training (MCT) versus a high intensity interval training (HIIT) programme on VO2 peak and HRR. Methods: Seventy three coronary patients were assigned to either HIIT or MCT groups for 8 weeks. Incremental exercise tests in a cycloergometer were performed to obtain VO2peak data and heart rate was monitored during and after the exercise test to obtain heart rate recovery data. Results: Both exercise programmes significantly increase VO2peak with a higher increase in the HIIT group (HIIT: 4.5± 4.46 ml/kg/min vs MCT: 2.46±3.57 ml/kg/min; P=0.039). High intensity interval training resulted in a significantly increase in HRR at the first and second minute of the recovery phase (15,44±7,04 vs 21,22 ±6,62, P <0,0001 and 23,73±9,64 vs 31,52±8,02, p <0,0001, respectively). Conclusions: The results of our research show that the application of HIIT to patients with chronic ischemic heart disease of low risk resulted in an improvement in VO2peak, and also improvements in post-exercise heart-rate recovery, compared with continuous training.
