Abstract
Our heart is a vital organ that pumps blood and through the vessels of the circulatory system. In medical applications, we can observe the heart rate using Electrocardiograph (ECG). Currently, people tend to have high working activity without a proper exercise intensity. This study was conducted to observe the heart rate variability (HRV) on the healthy young woman who was not doing any exercise. We evaluated the HRV characteristics while exercising with a regular period and different intensity (light to hard) and how the difference before and after of evaluation period. Seven young-healthy women (19 - 21 years old) women were observed during three observation stages: pre-exercise, main exercise-period, and post-exercise for 2 months. We analyzed MeanRR, SDRR, CVRR, rMSSD, VLF, LF, HF, and the Poincaré plot parameters (SD1 and SD2) as the HRV properties. We found that SDRR was decreased from the first week (0.08 s) to the last week of the evaluation period (0.03 s) followed by the HF component (0.15 – 0.2 Hz). The Poincaré plot properties also reduced from the first week to the last week of the exercise period (0.07 s to 0.03 s). We indicated the characteristics of a woman's HRV during regular exercise periods with different intensity have made the heart more effective in pumping blood. We concluded that the heart condition would be improved during regular exercise with the increment of intensity even in a short of a period. Finally, the heart rate performance may be decreased during absent from regular exercise for a month.
