“…Considering the absolute HRR to psychosocial stress, our findings also agree with the results of Ferrara et al (1993) but disagree with those if we consider the relative HRR that was not reported by those authors. Finally, our results partially also agree with the only study reported with athlete children (Szabó et al, 1994) that did not find difference in HRR during mental arithmetic between more and less fit judo athletes. Nevertheless, in that study higher and lower fitness levels were compared without the use of a non-athlete control group like in the current work.…”

“…Further, in an earlier work by Ferrara et al (1993), only a small difference was observed between physically active and sedentary children in cardiovascular reactivity to mental stress. Finally, the only study with athlete children (to the best of these authors' knowledge) revealed that aerobic fitness level (VO 2 Max) did not affect the HRR to mental arithmetic, but the aerobically more fit judo athletes recovered faster from psychosocial stress than their less fit counterparts (Szabó et al, 1994). Therefore, similarly to research with adults, the link between physical activity, and/or level of fitness, and the reactivity to psychosocial stress is controversial in children too.…”

Background. Research suggests that exercise training and/or physical fitness may be associated with lower heart rate reactivity and faster recovery from psychosocial stress. This relationship was rarely studied in children despite the potential protective role of physical activity in stress that may start in early life stages. Methods. In this laboratory investigation we examined 18 athlete and non-athlete children before, during and following exposure to mental stress which consisted of the Stroop Color Word Task and a mental arithmetic task, both distracted by classical music, in a counterbalanced research design. Results. The results based on absolute heart rate measures suggested that athletes exhibited lower heart rates in the stress-anticipation period as well as during the stress period than non-athletes. However, based on relative measures these differences vanished. The two groups of children did not differ in perceived arousal, perceived stressfulness of the mental tasks, and the self-reported feeling states before and after stress. Further, they did not differ in their performance on the two stress-eliciting active-coping tasks as indicated by the number of correct answers. Conclusion. These results appear to suggest that athletic status in children is unrelated to heart rate reactivity and other subjective psychological experiences before, during and after acute psychosocial stress. Keywords: adolescent, exercise, fitness, physical activity, relative measures.

“…There is also some evidence to suggest that enhanced aerobic fitness is associated with an improved recovery of CV variables following a stressor (Brooke & Long, 1987;Hollander & Seraganian, 1984;Keller & Seraganian, 1984;Sinyor, Schwartz, Peronnet, Brisson, & Seraganian, 1983;Szabo et al, 1994;Steptoe, Moses, Mathews, & Edwards, 1990). For example, Brooke and Long reported that their "fit" subjects exhibited a faster recovery of E to baseline values following a rapelling task compared to those that were "unfit".…”

The purpose of this investigation was to determine if 8 exercise endurance training (ET) sessions over 2 weeks significantly alters cardiac autonomic modulation, as measured by heart rate variability (HRV). Twenty-four college-aged males were recruited for this study and were randomized into either an exercise group (EX; n=12) or a control group (CT; n=12). EX underwent 2 weeks of ET on a cycle-ergometer (frequency: four times/week; duration: 40 minutes; intensity 80-85% HR reserve), whereas CT was instructed not to alter their previous level of physical activity. Five-minute ECG tracings were collected for HRV under the following conditions: 5 minutes of paced breathing at a frequency of 12 breaths/minute (PB), 5 minutes of spontaneous breathing (SB1), 5 minutes of 70-degree head-up tilt on a tilt table (TILT), and a second 5-minute period of spontaneous breathing (SB2). The data were collected on 5 occasions (Test 1-Test 5) during a 2-week period. HRV was reported as the standard deviation of RR intervals, and as normalized units (NU) of the natural logarithm of high-and low-frequency power (lnHF and lnLF). A mixed-model analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures was used to evaluate any Group X Time interaction, or main effects of Group or Time on HRV. Alpha was set at 0.05. EX exhibited a significant increase in peak oxygen consumption (8%), whereas this parameter was unchanged in CT. During PB, ANOVA revealed a Group X Time interaction such that EX exhibited decreases in lnLFNU (2.89 vs. 3.45 ln%) and lnLF/lnHF (0.82 vs. 0.90) during Test 5 compared to Test 1, while there were no such differences across time in CT. Additionally, there was a Group X Time interaction during TILT such that EX exhibited lower lnLFNU (4.12 vs. 4.42 ln%) and lnLF/lnHF (1.12 vs. 1.46), and greater lnHFNU (3.52 vs. 2.53 ln%) during Test 5 compared to Test 1, while these indices were unchanged across time in CT. These data suggest that 8 ET vii sessions over 2 weeks increases vagal modulation of the heart. Furthermore, these data suggest that it takes at least 8 ET sessions to induce such changes.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of anxiety level and level of task difficulty (putting distance) on the putting performance of amateur golfers under pressure. Seventy-five golfers participated. Four distances (1.25m, 1.50m, 1.75m, and 2.00m) were established as putting distances with a particularly high level of failure anxiety. Club movement kinematics (club head's linear amplitude, movement time, and mean velocity), putting score, and final resting position of missed putts were used as performance indicators. Participants hit one putt each from each distance under both lowpressure and high-pressure conditions. From the results of cognitive anxiety measured based on a questionnaire and somatic anxiety measured based on heart rate, it was confirmed that the pressure situation established by this research functioned effectively for the participants. From the results of analysis of variance, for the club's linear amplitude, movement time, mean velocity, and putting score, no significant association between anxiety and putting distance was apparent. On the other hand, from analysis of the final resting position of missed putts, it was conceivable that 1.50m putts were particularly impacted by pressure. Moreover, from the reduced movement time of the follow-through by participants with increased cognitive anxiety under pressure, the research suggested that cognitive anxiety had a greater impact than somatic anxiety on decrease of performance under pressure.
