Resumo

Objetivo: Esta revisão narrativa buscou abordar a variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) em relação aos conceitos e definições, formas de registro e processamento do sinal, interpretação do sinal, fatores influenciadores e aplicações ao exercício. Métodos: Levantamento bibliográfico de trabalhos publicados entre 2000 e 2022 nas base de dados PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Scielo. Resultados e discussão: A VFC é um método não invasivo de mensurar a atuação do sistema nervoso autônomo no coração, que vem sendo utilizada como marcador de saúde física e mental. A mensuração da VFC pode ser feita através do registro do eletrocardiograma ou frequencímetro, que permitem a extração de diversos parâmetros da VFC utilizando métodos lineares e não lineares. Conclusão: A VFC é uma variável que pode ser influenciada por diversos fatores, e seu papel pode ser explicado com base em quatro teorias. No que se refere ao treinamento físico, pode ser usada como um marcador de controle de intensidade de exercício.
