TL;DR: It is suggested that aging reduces HR variability, however, regular physical activity positively affects vagal activity on the heart and consequently attenuates the effects of aging in the autonomic control of HR.

TL;DR: The resting bradycardia induced by short-term APT in both age groups suggests that this adaptation is much more related to intrinsic alterations in sinus node than in efferent vagal-sympathetic modulation, and the greater alterations in VO2 than in HRV may be related to short- term APT.

TL;DR: In athletes the resting bradycardia seems to be much more related to changes in intrinsic mechanisms than to modifications in autonomic control, based on the analysis of data by the frequency domain method.

TL;DR: It is suggested that APT can be a valid therapeutic option for patients with PMA and is associated with reduction of myocardial perfusion abnormalities, increasing of physical capacity, and improvement in QOL.

TL;DR: A positive remodeling was identified in the trained group, where a left ventricular diastolic dimension increase was associated with LVmass reduction and a positive remodels in the TG improved physical capacity and other cardiovascular variables.
