Aim of the Study: To find the effect of omega-3 fatty acid on HR variability and R-R Interval. Methods: A 2 week randomized study was conducted. Participants are sub-elite weightlifters. All the subject was in pre-competition training. They have to perform 3 heavy sessions of 80%-85%, 85%-90%, and 90%-95% of the training load accordingly.

Raisin. Results: There are no changes found between a treated and untreated week on Heart rate variability and R-R Intervals. Conclusions: Although Researcher told us Omega-3 helps to reduce HRV in the long-term study but .. Read More»
