Figure 5

Frequency-domain analysis of heart rate variability at rest and after the 6 × 10-second intermittent sprint test for the participants in the smoking and nonsmoking groups.

Notes: (A) lnLF; (B) lnHF; (C) lnLF/lnHF; (D) LF/HF; (E) LFnu; and (F) HFnu. The values shown are the mean ± standard deviations. *The time by condition interaction (P<0.01); #the significant main effect between the smoking and nonsmoking groups (P<0.05).

Abbreviations: lnLF, natural logarithm of low frequency; Pre-Ex, preexercise; Post-Ex, postexercise; lnHF, natural logarithm of high frequency; lnLF/lnHF, natural logarithm of low/high frequency; LF/HF, low frequency/high frequency ratio; LFnu, normalized LF; HFnu, normalized HF.
