Summary

Cardiac contractions registered in 17 qualified gymnasts and weight lifters by means of a photoindicator and a phenomenon similar to that of “Lindhard” revealed that after cessation of the exercises, especially difficult ones, the rate of cardiac contractions increased sharply. This phenomenon was more pronounced in women than in men. There was no significant difference between qualified and nonqualified sportsmen.
