Firefighters' basal cardiac autonomic function and its associations with cardiorespiratory fitness.

CONCLUSIONS: Firefighters' resting CAF is characterized by a predominant sympathetic modulation and a large inter-individual dispersion in all HRV indices, in both groups. Our results support mandatory physical training focused in improving firefighters' CAF as a cardiopretective effect. PMID: 30909264 [PubMed - in process]
