Metabolic Energy Correlates of Heart Rate Variability Spectral Power Associated with a 900-Calorie Challenge

Figure 2

Correlation of very-low-frequency spectral power of heart rate variability with resting energy expenditure. Linear regression for raw (ms2) units of very-low-frequency (VLF) power computed from fast Fourier transform analysis of electrocardiogram RR intervals for ten healthy 18–20-year-old African American males during 20 min trials of uncontrolled breathing (a) and paced breathing at 0.2 Hz (b) after metabolic provocation with a 900 Cal test beverage. ; , 8 df, respectively.
