Changes in Cardiac Tone Regulation with Fatigue after Supra-Maximal Running Exercise by Pierre-Marie Leprêtre, Philippe Lopes, Claire Thomas, Christine Hanon

“…No correlation was found between biochemical and cardiac recovery responses except for the PO2 values which were significantly correlated with HF levels measured 4 min after both bouts. Thus, it appears that fatigue rather than metabolic stresses occurring during a supramaximal exercise could explain the delayed postexercise parasympathetic reactivation in longer sprint runs.…”
