article from the Healing Heart Foundation and abstract of
article from the New England Journal of Medicine: “Frequent
Ventricular Ectopy after Exercise as a Predictor of Death.”
The authors hypothesize that ventricular ectopy (7 or more
premature heartbeats per minute) during the recovery phase
is a better predictor of cardiac risk than ventricular
ectopy during exercise. | | Gatorade

Recovery Immediately After Exercise As A Predi… Link to article in the New England Journal of Medicine:
“Heart-Rate Recovery Immediately after Exercise as a
Predictor of Mortality.” The authors hypothesize that a
delayed fall in the heart rate after exercise might be an
important prognostic marker. Recovery of the heart rate
after exercise is a function of vagal activity, and a
decrease in vagal activity is known to be a cardiac risk
factor. | | http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/anatomyandphysiology/a… Information about aerobic fitness and endurance on

This version was written by Tom Coleman at The University of
Mississippi Medical Center and has since been maintained and
updated at Skidmore College. The model covers the major
organ systems, including cardiovascular, respiratory, renal,
endocrine, nervous and alimentary. With each iteration of
the program, approximately 137 user accessible physiological
variables are computed and updated. In running a simulation,
the user may manipulate one or more parameters from a list
of 67 alterable physiological, environmental and clinical
factors. |
