Abstract
Novice compared to experienced skydivers are characterized by higher modulation of the sympathetic, and lower modulation of the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system (ANS). Chronic effects of 10-unit AFF training are characterized by decreased modulation of the sympathetic nervous system, increased total power spectrum of HRV, and increased activity of the parasympathetic nervous system. The changes in ANS modulation suggest that parachute training leads to a reduction of the stress response and improves autonomic control of cardiovascular function in novice skydivers.
