[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine changes in vagal tone during passive exercise while supine. [Subjects and Methods] Eleven healthy males lay supine for 5 min and then performed passive cycling for 10 min using a passive cycling machine. The lower legs moved through a range of motion defined by 90° and 180° knee joint angles at 60 rpm. Respiratory rates were maintained at 0.25 Hz to elicit respiratory sinus arrhythmia. Heart rate variability was analyzed using the time domain analysis, as the root mean squared standard differences between adjacent R-R intervals (rMSSD), and spectrum domain analysis of the high frequency (HF) component. [Results] Compared to rest, passive cycling decreased rMSSD (rest, 66.6 ± 92.6 ms; passive exercise, 53.5 ± 32.5 ms). However, no significant changes in HR or HF were observed (rest, 68.2 ± 6.9 bpm, 65.6 ± 12.0 n.u.; passive exercise, 70.2 ± 7.2 bpm, 67.9 ± 10.0 n.u.). [Conclusion] These results suggest that passive exercise decreases rMMSD through supine-stimulated mechanoreceptors with no effect on HR or HF. Therefore, rMSSD is not affected by hydrostatic pressure during passive cycling in the supine position.
