The pulse waveform and parameters analysis of various athletes based on radial pulse

Abstract

Classify the sports events by the maximal oxygen uptake (MaxO2) and the maximal muscular voluntary contraction (MVC). Collect the radial pulse wave of different sports events and discuss the pulse waveform and characteristic parameters. Radial pulse waveform on 304 subjects was collected, by using PowerLab and its bundled software LabChart 7, developed by ADInstrument. Normalize each radial pulse waveform and let the waveform cycle and amplitude distribute in the range of 0-100. Analyze the relative time of the maximum point Tm, the abscissa X and ordinate Y of dicrotic notch, the pulse waveform area K and the pulse wave age index SDPTG. The pulse waveform changing trend of MVC (<;50%) group and MVC (>50%) group are different while the sports have the same MaxO2. And the pulse waveform changing trend of MaxO2 (<;40%) group, MaxO2 (40%-70%) group and MaxO2 (>70%) group are as well as different while the sports have the same MVC.
