I'm investigating the impacts of gender and age on individuals resting heart rate after excersise.Could someone pls explain in depth whether age impacts resting heart rate on individuals after excersise and how that differs in regards to different genders.This comparison also involves differences between young and those who are older.

Resting heart rate (RHR) is positively related with mortality. Regular exercise causes a reduction in RHR.

Jame B Carter et Al (2003) studied the impact of age and gender on heart rate variability after endurance training.This research investigated the age and gender differences in cardiovascular adaptation to a standardized/quantified endurance-training program that included two taper periods.

Methods: The latter was analyzed from spectral analysis of electrocardiogram records of heart rate variability (HRV) at rest in groups of young (19-21 yr) and middle aged (40-45 yr), mixed gender groups (6 males and 6 females), pre- and poststandardized training. All subjects were recreational runners who completed the same 12-wk running program. Before, and subsequent to training, HRV was measured during supine rest and submaximal cycling.

Results: There was a significant decrease in heart rate both at rest (2.7 +/- 0.45 beats x min-1) and during submaximal exercise (8.1 +/- 0.67 beats x min-1) in both age groups after training. After training, total spectral power increased (560.7 +/- 308.9 ms2), as well as high-frequency power (362.3 +/- 405.5 ms2), in both age groups at rest. The young group showed a greater increase in total power (849.0 +/- 308.7 ms2) after the training program.

Conclusion:

So it is concluded that a well-designed 12-wk endurance-training program will decrease resting and submaximal heart rate in both younger and older adults.

The significant increase in HRV, total power, and high-frequency power in all groups after endurance training indicates that HRV measurement appears to provide an effective, noninvasive assessment of cardiovascular adaptation to aerobic training.
