Abstract

The present study aimed at investigating the association between short-term heart rate variability and executive function performance in two groups of the adult population, that is, young adults and middle-aged adults. The influence of physical activity on heart rate variability and executive performance was also analyzed. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 143 adults; 65 middle-aged adults and 78 young adults. Each participant’s heart rate variability was recorded during the ideal state, during the executive function task and recovery state. The executive function tests included the Delayed Matching of Sample (DMS), Spatial Working Memory (SWM) and Multitasking Test (MTT) on the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB). Physical activity levels were reported through IPAQ. Results revealed resting HRV indicator, RMSSD was able to predict correct scores in DMS, error rates in SWM, and reaction latencies in MTT in the adult population, and adults with high HRV performed better in the tests. Middle-aged adults demonstrated high sympathetic activity at rest, and reactivity of HRV was seen maximum during the MTT task. Young adults showed higher sympathetic activation to imposed demands of multitasking. Physical activity was able to predict executive scores and resting HRV. HRV was found to be associated with executive function performance in the adult population.

心率变异性与执行功能表现之间的关系：一项针对成年人群的横断面研究

本研究旨在调查两组成年人，即年轻人和中年人的短期心率变异性与执行功能表现之间的关系。体力活动对心率变异性和执行性能的影响也进行了分析。对143名成年人进行了横断面研究;65名中年人和78名年轻人。记录每个参与者在理想状态、执行功能任务和恢复状态下的心率变异性。执行功能测试包括样本延迟匹配(DMS)、空间工作记忆(SWM)和剑桥神经心理测试自动化电池(CANTAB)的多任务测试(MTT)。通过IPAQ报告身体活动水平。结果显示，静息HRV指标RMSSD能够预测成人DMS的正确得分、SWM的错误率和MTT的反应潜伏期，HRV高的成年人在测试中表现更好。中年人在休息时表现出较高的交感神经活动，在MTT任务期间HRV的反应性最高。年轻人对多任务处理的要求表现出更高的交感神经激活。体力活动能够预测执行分数和静息HRV。HRV被发现与成年人的执行功能表现有关。

期刊介绍： NeuroRegulation is a peer-reviewed journal providing an integrated, multidisciplinary perspective on clinically relevant research, treatment, reviews, and public policy for neuroregulation and neurotherapy. NeuroRegulation publishes important findings in these fields with a focus on electroencephalography (EEG), neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback), quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), psychophysiology, biofeedback, heart rate variability, photobiomodulation, repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Simulation (rTMS) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS); with a focus on treatment of psychiatric, mind-body, and neurological disorders. In addition to research findings and reviews, it is important to stress that publication of case reports is always useful in furthering the advancement of an intervention for both clinical and normative functioning. We strive for high quality and interesting empirical topics presented in a rigorous and scholarly manner. The journal draws from expertise inside and outside of the International Society for Neurofeedback & Research (ISNR) to deliver material which integrates the diverse aspects of the field, to include: *basic science *clinical aspects *treatment evaluation *philosophy *training and certification issues *technology and equipment
