Cardiac variables in the Doppler test
Trials | Rest | Exercise | Recovery | |
---|---|---|---|---|
HR (beats/min) | 60EX | 70.0 ± 2.8 | 104.5 ± 4.1* | 78.0 ± 4.2* |
80EX | 71.2 ± 1.4 | 105.5 ± 3.1† | 79.0 ± 3.7† | |
SV (mL) | 60EX | 83.0 ± 4.1 | 106.6 ± 6.9* | 100.2 ± 5.9* |
80EX | 81.5 ± 4.6 | 114.6 ± 7.4†§ | 100.8 ± 3.9† | |
CO (L/min) | 60EX | 5.9 ± 0.2 | 11.5 ± 0.6* | 7.7 ± 0.3* |
80EX | 5.8 ± 0.3 | 12.3 ± 0.6†§ | 7.9 ± 0.3† |
Values are mean ± SE (n = 5). Values are averaged over the last 30 sec of each session. HR, heart rate; SV, stroke volume; CO, cardiac output. SV and CO were obtained by the Doppler echocardiography. *P < 0.05 vs. at Rest in the 60EX trial. †P < 0.05 vs. at Rest in the 80EX trial. §P < 0.05 60EX trial vs. 80EX trial.
