Effects of Daily Physical Activity on Cardiac Autonomic Function and Basal Temperature in Children
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.23 Vol.23】
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of daily physical activity on cardiac autonomic function (CAF) and basal temperature in children. Oral temperature and daily physical activity were recorded from 56 boys and 37 girls (nine-ten years old) for one week, and CAF was measured using a power spectral analysis of heart rate variability at resting condition.
There were no significant differences in CAF and basal temperature between low active group and high active group on the basis of amount of daily steps. However, total power in high active group (2,980±1,999ms²) on the basis of the active time of middle to high intensity was significant greater (t=2.12, p<0.05) than that in low active group (1,590±864).
These results suggest that duration of moderate or vigorous activity effects the improvement of cardiac autonomic function in children.
