“…In these simulations, the vascular changes involve several autonomic adaptations that can be evaluated by heart rate variability (HRV) (Anon, 1996) and baroreflex sensitivity (Hughson, Quintin, Annat, Yamamoto, & Gharib, 1993) analyses. Using such methods, previous studies have shown an increase in parasympathetic activity (Chouchou et al., 2009; Miwa, Sugiyama, Mano, Iwase, & Matsukawa, 1996; Mourot et al., 2008) and in stimulation of the cardiac baroreceptors during both HDT and WI (Chouchou et al., 2020; Fu, Sugiyama, Kamiya, & Mano, 2000; Iida et al., 1999; Pump, Videbaek, Gabrielsen, & Norsk, 1999; Shiraishi et al., 2002), whereas another study suggested a higher baroreflex sensitivity and parasympathetic activation during HDT compared with WI (Shiraishi et al., 2002). However, the physiological adaptations to WI and HDT cannot be described entirely with HRV and baroreflex sensitivity indices.…”
