Anyone know a quote on correlation between resting heart rate
and physical activity. Imagine the implications if it is on
the order of r=-0.86. (it takes 15 seconds to assess and can
be done @ the mall, okay so can blood pressure monitoring,okay
weight and waist circumference too, but still)
Only bad thing is other things affect it, chq out
: AJE,137.7, 1993: Heart rate, Physical Acitivty and
: Mortality:
arguments against using heart rate as a marker of PA: -"heart
rate might reflect the body's level of adrenergic activity,
which reflects psychological stress" -other factors associated
with heart rate: serum albumin and white blood cell count.
Anyway my two cents: more should be invested on assessing
daily changes in resting heart rate as affected by stress and
exercise. Or at least I'm having a difficult time finding
this info, I did a reverse citations on the above link, I'll
try again..
Re stress, aren't stress and exercise similar? does exercise
in contrast to stress lower sympathetic-to-parasympathetic
tone? [ie. are exercised people more "at rest" when at rest?]
