Why does pulse rate increase after exercise




















The target heart rate is a guideline which can help you stay in a safe exercise heart rate range. This will help you improve your cardiorespiratory fitness. This means your heart and lungs will become stronger. As your age increases, your target heart rate will decrease. During exercise, cardiovascular parameters change to supply oxygen to working muscles and to preserve perfusion of vital organs. The vascular resistance and heart rate are controlled differently during physical activity 12, At the onset of exercise heart rate and cardiac output elevation is mediated mostly by central command signals via vagal withdrawal.

With cessation of exercise, loss of central command, baroreflex activation and other mechanisms contribute to a rise in parasympathetic activity, causing a decrease in heart rate despite maintained sympathetic activation Later, sympathetic withdrawal after exercise was also observed Rhythmic fluctuations in efferent sympathetic and vagal activities directed at the sinus node manifest as HRV. Analysis of these oscillations may permit inferences on the state and function of various cardiovascular control components 9.

It was frequently observed that overall HRV represented by SDRR , LF and HF spectral powers and mean RR interval reciprocal value of heart rate are considerably reduced during exercise, a fact that makes spectral analysis hard to carry out for exercise.

During recovery, HRV is gradually regained 8,14, In agreement with previous results, we observed a parallel increase of all HRV indices during 30 min of supine recovery after the step test. HRV indices increased more rapidly during the first half of recovery and more slowly later. However, even after 30 min all the HRV parameters remained reduced compared to rest values in agreement with Takahashi et al.

Most fluctuations of the RR interval in humans are driven by fluctuations of vagal-cardiac nerve traffic These HRV parameters represent changes in vagal activity during the experiment.

From this point of view, changing position from supine to standing is characterized by a reduction of cardiac parasympathetic activity and this activity is increasingly regained during post-exercise recovery. During exercise, the HF component of HRV was found to be a valid index of parasympathetic cardiac nerve activity because it decreased in response to increases in exercise intensity and was attenuated by cholinergic receptor inhibition In agreement with Grasso et al. More controversial is the interpretation of the LF component, which is considered by some to be a marker of sympathetic modulation and by others as a parameter that includes sympathetic, vagal and baroreflex influences 9,20, In a meta-analysis of HRV studies, Eckberg 21 showed that vagal contributions to LF RR-interval fluctuations are great, and there is no convincing evidence that baseline LF RR-interval spectral power is related quantitatively to sympathetic-cardiac nerve traffic.

In principle, biological systems are nonlinear. Nonlinear dynamics analysis can be used as a powerful tool for the description of biosignal characteristics Nonlinear parameters are able to reveal small differences in the behavior of systems. One of the recently introduced parameters, which is able to quantify regularity, predictability and complexity of analyzed time series and systems is approximate entropy, introduced by Steven Pincus in 11, Approximate entropy can be used as an index of control system complexity - lower approximate entropy values indicate higher autonomy of system components underlying the dynamics of the assessed parameter.

On the other hand, approximate entropy increases with more complex interconnections within a system 11, Richman and Moorman 10 improved its mathematical properties and this new measure of time series complexity was named sample entropy. We observed a marked reduction of sample entropy with the change of position from supine to standing, which is in agreement with observations by Yeragani et al This fact indicates the simplification of heart rate control in standing with predominance of LF rhythm after reduction of vagal influences on the heart following parasympathetic withdrawal and sympathetic activation During post-exercise recovery sample entropy was slightly decreased compared to supine rest before exercise and regained supine rest values after 30 min.

Despite a markedly reduced HRV, heart rate dynamics after exercise was more complex than in the standing position. Based on changes of sample entropy, we assume that both divisions of the autonomic nervous system significantly influence heart rate during recovery after exercise.

After 30 min, vagus activity is increased to the extent necessary for the return of system complexity to the supine rest value. The post-exercise exponential decline of heart rate is an intrinsic property of the intact circulation independent of autonomic control 4. Heart rate rapidly decreases during the first min after the cessation of exercise, and gradually thereafter. During recovery from moderate and heavy exercise heart rate remains elevated above the pre-exercise level for a relatively long period of time up to 60 min 2,18, Because of the presumed parasympathetic origin of both HRV and the rate of heart rate decrease after exercise we hypothesized that the HRV indices before and after exercise could be associated with the rate of heart rate recovery.

Therefore, the increase of parasympathetic activity causing heart rate deceleration after exercise is to a large extent independent of basal parasympathetic tone. From a clinical point of view, quantification of HRV during various maneuvers can provide additional information about cardiovascular system adaptability and flexibility with potential prognostic clinical application. It is well known that the magnitude of neural and hemodynamic responses to exercise is related to exercise intensity Thus, it is possible that different exercise intensities have also distinct effects on cardiovascular changes during and after exercise.

Since adaptation to exercise acquired by physical training can significantly influence the cardiovascular response to exercise 29 , we performed this study on healthy untrained subjects. HRV indices and particularly HF spectral power are to a large extent influenced by breathing pattern and it is usually recommended to control the frequency of breathing and tidal volume in HRV studies We did not attempt to control breathing pattern in order to avoid subject's discomfort and metabolic and blood gas changes due to unwanted hypo- or hyperventilation.

It was shown that minute ventilation, tidal volume and respiratory frequency gradually decrease during post-exercise recovery The tidal volume drop could reduce the HF increase during recovery; on the other hand, the HF increase could be to some extent caused by the post-exercise respiratory frequency decrease.

Therefore, the HF power changes should be interpreted with caution as alterations of vagal-cardiac activity. In conclusion, we found that after exercise time and frequency domain HRV indices continuously increased during the recovery phase. The rate of heart rate decrease during recovery was not correlated with the HRV parameters obtained from supine rest and standing, but was positively correlated with all HRV indices obtained from the onset of recovery 5 and 10 min after the cessation of exercise.

In addition, heart rate complexity was markedly reduced in the standing position and a slight reduction of sample entropy during the recovery phase returned to pre-exercise levels after 30 min of supine recovery.
