A longitudinal study of physical activity and heart rate recovery: CARDIA, 1987-1993
Article Abstract:
Efforts made to test whether physical activity participation is associated with higher parasympathetic function in a diverse, population-based sample is presented where participants in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study underwent symptom-limited graded exercise testing at baseline. Findings suggest that physical activity was associated with faster heart rate recovery from an exercise treadmill test.

Physical activity and bone health
Article Abstract:
A vigorous level of physical activity held across the lifespan is an essential component of the prescription for achieving and maintaining optimal bone health. Physical activities that generate relatively high-intensity loading forces, such as plyometrics, gymnastics, and high-intensity resistance training, augment bone mineral accrual in children and adolescents.
