Delayed heart rate recovery and its variability in fitness functional training compared to endurance athletes: a cross-sectional analysis.
Article in PeerJ, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: The present study sought to expand upon prior investigations of the effect of different training modalities on post-exercise heart rate recovery (HRR) and heart rate variability (HRV). Objective: To compare the HRR and HRV in physically active men with endurance and fitness functional training recreational athletes following maximal treadmill exercise testing. Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study with 53 healthy men split into a control group (CG: Results: FFG showed slower HRR than EG at all post-exercise time points (β = - 13.74 to -8.83 bpm; Conclusion: HRR was lower in FFG compared to EG throughout recovery. There were no differences in cardiovagal reactivation between the groups from the second to the fifth minute. FFG showed low cardiac overall modulation and high sympathetic activity throughout recovery compared to other groups. These findings may reflect that the FFG displays a persistent coactivation of both autonomic branches following maximal exercise testing compared to the different training modalities.
