Abstract

The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of high intermittent exercise training on children’s heart rate variability (HRV). Thirty-eight children (age 9.6 ± 1.2 years) were divided into an intermittent (IT, n = 22) and a control group (CON, n = 16). At baseline and after a 7-week training period, HRV parameters, peak oxygen consumption \( (\dot{V}{\text{O}}_{{2{\text{peak}}}} ) \) and maximal aerobic velocity (MAV) were assessed. Training consisted of three 30-min sessions composed by short maximal and supramaximal runs at velocities ranging from 100 up to 190% of MAV. HRV was computed in time and frequency domains. Training resulted in a significant increase in MAV and \( \dot{V}{\text{O}}_{{2{\text{peak}}}} \) in IT (P < 0.05) only without any significant change in HRV parameters for the two groups. Thus, 7 weeks of high intermittent exercise training allows to improve aerobic fitness. However, this modality of training was not sufficient enough to underline a possible effect on the heart rate autonomic regulation in children.

Das Geschlechterparadoxon in der gesundheitlich beeinträchtigten Lebenszeit – Ende eines Mythos?

Beginnend mit den 1920er-Jahren hat sich eine Vorstellung über die Geschlechterdifferenzen in Gesundheit und Mortalität etabliert, die von Lorber und Moore in dem einprägsamen Satz: „Women get sicker, but men die quicker“, zusammengefasst wurde [ 1 …, S. 13]. Tatsächlich erscheinen vor dem Hintergrund der höheren Lebenserwartung der Frauen die Studienergebnisse zu den Geschlechterdifferenzen in der Morbidität überraschend, wonach Frauen im Durchschnitt einen schlechteren Gesundheitszustand aufweisen als Männer [
