Abstract

Objective: The quantity and quality of resilence onset depents upon both mental and physical stress. This is of special importance in hypertension and sports. For these reasons resilence can be improved under good clinical conditions, e.g. training, normal blood pressure. Design and method: 24 adolescent males (29%) and females (71%) between 17 and 19 years of age were asked to perform a run for 6 minutes, whereby the maximal distance covered by each participant has been taken as a measure of performance (Bös and Mechling test). Blood pressure and heart frequency were checked by a polar heart frequency analyzer and Omron apparatus at the following times: resting 10 minutes before test, pulse immediately before test (SAA; sympatho - adrenal anticipation), pulse immediately after cessation of running, pulse 1 minute after cessation and pulse and blood pressure five minutes after cessation of running. Results: No correlations existed between heart frequency immideately after cessation of the run and resting heart frequency, blood pressure values, heart frequency during and resilence - onset, probably due to a Frank - Straub Starling phenomenon. In Addition, there is no correlation between heart frequency and performance (covered distance). There are only correlations between heart frequency, blood pressure values and efforts. The quantity of beginning resilence is predictable from the resting pulse and blood pressure as well as from the SAA pulse. The successive events (anticipation - effort - resilence) correlate with each other. They show the same quality of effort, only their quantity differs. Participants with high pulse have even higher SAA pulse and therefore less elbow room for heart frequency increase according to workload, and moreover higher pulse rates at beginning resilence level (less resilence). Resilence therefore depends upon effort and blood pressure at all levels of measurememts. Conclusions: A simple arrangement of simple parameters like pulse rate, blood pressure and covered running distance during a defined running time (stress test) yields to above mentioned results. Resilence therefore is a negative effort of predictable quantity. This quantity of resilence onset depends upon both mental a physical stress and can be probably trained.
