Abstract

Introduction

Different exercise modes result in different heart rate recovery (HRR) patterns which could be related to the greater vagal reactivation following arm compared to leg-ergometry.

Methods

Heart rate recovery was calculated following maximal arm and leg-ergometry.

Results

HRR-1 following maximal arm-ergometry was significantly higher than HRR-1 post maximal and sub-maximal leg-ergometry.

Conclusion

This may be of clinical significance to individuals relying on their upper body for locomotion.
