Abstract

The current study deals with the investigation of the effect of long-term endurance training on the autonomic nervous system of healthy adults. ECG was recorded for 5 min under resting condition in a sitting position using an ECG acquisition device for 25 swimmers and 25 age-matched sedentary controls. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) parameters of the volunteers were used for statistical analysis and classification using binary classification trees and artificial neural networks. The LF/HF ratio for swimmers and sedentary controls was found to be 0.89 ± 0.32 and 0.94 ± 0.46, respectively. This may be attributed to the vagal dominance due to endurance training in the swimmers. Statistical ECG signal processing and db06 wavelet based processing were performed to understand the effect of swimming on the cardiac health. The signal classification results indicated that both the HRV and the processed ECG signal features may be used for the classification of the swimmers and the sedentary controls using CART, Boosted tree, Random Forest and neural network algorithms.
