Physiological Reports
Intense cycling improved heart rate variability in older adults
Changes in a measure of overall heartbeat variability favored intense cycling over moderate cycling by 5.4 milliseconds after 12 weeks.Changes in a measure of overall heartbeat variability favored intense cycling over moderate cycling by 5.4 milliseconds after 12 weeks.

Who was studied64 non-exercising older adults, 12 weeks
What changedHeart rate variability (SDNN) improved by 5.4 ms more with intense cycling than with moderate-intensity cycling
The catchHome heart recordings were unsupervised, with breathing patterns and adherence to instructions unmonitored
