Cardiac cycle timing intervals in university varsity athletes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Cardiac cycle timing events in varsity athletes serve an important function for baseline assessment but are not reported in the literature. The purpose of this study was to characterise the cardiac cycle timing intervals and contractility parameters in university‐level varsity athletes. 152 males and 93 females were assessed using a non‐invasive seismocardiography cardiac sensor attached to the sternum for 1‐minute. Shorter isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT), systolic time, mitral valve open to E‐wave (MVO to E) time, rapid ejection period (REP), atrial systole to mitral valve closure (AS to MVC) time, and diastolic performance index (IVRT/systolic time) were found in females, while heart rate was lower in males. Varying differences in timing intervals were found between sports. Systolic times were longer in male and female basketball players, while diastole was shortest in male football players, who also had higher heart rates than the other male sport athletes. These results add reference cardiac cycle timing data to the literature and imply that male and female athletes show different cardiac characteristics. Team differences suggest that different training for different sports can result in unique cardiac function changes, however, these appear to be related to the sex of the participants. The addition of these cardiac cycle timing intervals adds a valuable comparative tool to better understand cardiac physiology in the varsity athletic population.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
