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 submaximal leg-ergometry. Conclusion This may be of clinical significance to individuals relying on their upper body for locomotion.
