Comparative analysis of heart rate variability in amateur vs professional young badminton players -A cross-sectional study

In the realm of sports and athletic performance, the pursuit of excellence is a constant endeavour. Athletes, coaches, and sports scientists are continuously exploring new ways to optimize training methods, enhance recovery strategies, and unlock the full potential of the human body. Amidst this quest, one physiological parameter has emerged as a promising indicator of an athlete’s readiness, adaptation, and overall performance capacity: Heart Rate Variability (HRV). The variability in time intervals between successive heartbeats, known as heart rate variability, serves as a window into the intricate autonomic control of the cardiovascular system. HRV holds profound significance as a non-invasive tool for assessing the dynamic interplay between sympathetic and parasympathetic influences on the heart. Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate and compare heart rate variability (HRV) in young badminton players, with a focus on assessing potential differences between amateur and professional players to gain insights into the autonomic regulation of the cardiovascular system.
