What is it about?
The inconclusive results regarding the interaction between cardiac resting measurements and the chronotropic and parasympathetic responses during and after an exercise test remain, and new approaches are needed to expand prior investigations. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have shown information on the effect of different RHR values, evaluated in the supine position, on HR dynamic and parasympathetic activity at rest, during the exercise test, and during recovery.

Why is it important?
Different resting heart rate (RHR) values can affect dynamic heart rate and parasympathetic activity during and after an exercise test opening the possibility of a new approach (or analysis) using RHR values, which may add helpful information as a preliminary tool for decision-making (i.e., stress management) for healthcare professionals bringing essential and complementary information related to individuals cardiac autonomic capacity without the expense of clinical exercise tests or maximal/near the maximal effort required for exercise and recovery analysis
Perspectives
We suggest that RHR (supine) analysis as a preliminary tool for decision-making, considering its potentially helpful information related to the individual’s cardiac autonomic “flexibility” without the expense of clinical exercise tests to infer the parasympathetic activity on the heart in different functional conditions (rest, exercise, and recovery).
