Abstract
To determine if the age-associated decline in heart rate variability i s due in part to decreases in fitness levels, we compared heart rate v ariability parameters in older athletes and age-matched sedentary pers ons, All heart rate variability parameters were superior in the athlet es, consistent with an enhanced cardiac vagal modulation in the athlet e.
