Sleep-timing irregularity moderates the within-participant association between training load and next-morning heart rate variability in university sport participants: a 28-day study.
Background Heart rate variability (HRV) describes beat-to-beat variation in cardiac intervals; the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) is a time-domain index of short-term cardiac vagal modulation. We examined whether nightly deviation from habitual sleep midpoint moderated the association between prior-...
