Primary Outcome
|
| Outcome |
TimePoints |
HRV measures will include RMSSD, SDNN, PNS Index, and SNS Index, obtained through Kubios HRV software.
Agility performance will be assessed using the Illinois Agility Test, with the best trial time recorded in seconds |
Since its a cross sectional study all the outcomes will be assessed once at a single time point during the testing session |
|
|
Secondary Outcome
|
| Outcome |
TimePoints |
| To compare agility performance as measured by the Illinois Agility Test among athletes of various recreational team sports participating in the study. |
Since its a cross sectional study all the outcomes will be assessed once at a single time point during the testing session |

Brief Summary
|
This study will be conducted to evaluate the relationship between heart rate variability and agility performance in recreational team sports athletes. Participants will be screened based on the specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. HRV will be assessed at rest using validated software, and agility performance will be measured using a standardized agility test, with the best trial recorded in seconds. The collected data will be statistically analyzed to identify associations between HRV parameters and agility outcomes, which may provide insights for performance monitoring and training strategies in recreational athletes |
