Heart rate variability and strength training in individuals with cardiovascular diseases: a systematic review
Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the positive effects of strength training in individuals with cardiovascular disease through heart rate variability (HRV) behavior. Methods: This is a review study, oriented according to the PICOS. Methods: A review of the literature was performed through 136 articles available in two databases considered to be of great scientific relevance: Medline, Pubmed, published from 2005 to 2016. Results: The analyzed literature demonstrates that after completing the strength training program, there was an increase in all variables used for HRV analysis, indicating a change in autonomic modulation, although, in some studies, such changes were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Strength training can promote significant effects in relation to autonomic modulation exerted on the cardiac system in individuals with cardiovascular disease.
