title: The influence of minimal physical activity on some physiological parameters at rest in human subjects.
abstract: Minimal physical activity was used as a preliminary procedure before measuring some physiological parameters at rest. Minimal activity preceding the analyzed rest period causes a decrease in the mean heart rate (by 5.4%), respiratory rate (by 3.5%), O2 uptake (by 2.5%) and respiratory quotient in parallel determinations in the same individuals reducing particularly the standard deviations of mean values. These changes are similar to those found after prolonged training.
