| Popis: | External stressors such as alcohol, caffeine, and vigorous exercise are known to alter cellular homeostasis, affecting the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and overall physiological function. However, little direct evidence exists quantifying the impact of these external stressors on physiological testing. We assessed the impact of the above-listed stressors on spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), heart rate variability (HRV), heart rate asymmetry (HRA), and systolic blood pressure variability (BPV). Seventeen male university varsity American-style football athletes completed two identical assessments on separate days, once presenting with one or more stressors (recent intake of caffeine, alcohol, or exercise participation; contraindicated assessment) and another with no stressors present (repeat assessment). Both assessments were conducted within one week and at the same time of day. The testing protocol consisted of 5-min of rest followed by 5-min of a squat-stand maneuver (0.05 Hz). Continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure and electrocardiogram measurements were collected and allowed for calculations of BRS, HRV, HRA, and BPV. Significant decreases (p |
