Abstract :Introduction : The aim of the study was to investigate heart rate variability response and muscle oxygen saturation during and after different exercise patterns with similar heart rate ranges in athletes of different body region dominant sports (lower extremity and whole body), namely rowing and long-middle distance running. Method : Eighteen volunteer male athletes competing in rowing and running participated in the study. The athletes performed a gradually increasing exercise test on the first day and a 6-minute exercise test at an individually calculated target heart rate on the second day. Results : In the target heart rate test, RR values for the first 2 minutes were higher in runners (p<0.05). When a comparison was made between the two groups, it was found that SMO2 values of both muscles were higher in the running group in the 1st minute (p<0.05). During post-test recovery, the intragroup RR values of both groups differed in the first 90 seconds (p<0.05). Discussion : The results of the study show that the autonomic control processes during the acute recovery period are qualitatively different between muscle groups of different sizes trained with different exercise types in exercises with similar HR levels. RR values, especially during the fast phase of recovery, support this view.
