Perception of voluntary control of cardiac function in distance runners and non-runners.
6 non-runners and 6 distance runners were compared for ability to increase heart rates voluntarily using biofeedback. There was no difference between the groups on that ability, but runners were significantly more accurate in ability to estimate the magnitude of the cardiac changes which occurred.
