Before the competition are very important to be in optimal functional position. We were using CES to perform the functional position of optimization. Also we use CES to prescribe autonomic nervous system, analyzing the 11 handball players. After using cranial electrotherapy stimulation, we can see fundamental changes of heart rate, statistical analysis and spectral analysis indicator. After using electro cranial therapy stimulation, in one hour maximize autonomic nervous system tonus and parasympathetic activity. Using electro cranial stimulation are very effective before competition when sportsman feel`s tired, lowspirited, disquiet or upset.

In this study, the effect of slow and fast music on the heart rate variability and conduction pathway of the heart was studied. The results indicated an increase in the parasympathetic dominance as the volunteers were made to listen to music. The magnitude of the parasympathetic activity was higher when the volunteers were made to listen to fast music. This indicates that slow and fast music affected the sympatho-vagal balance in different proportions. The analysis of the ECG signal and wavelet transformed ECG signal suggested an alteration in the conduction pathway of the heart.

Background : Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation increases risk of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). ANS dysregulation is common in depression and anxiety, but the relationship between these psychological factors and ANS dysregulation has not been investigated in ICD patients. Methods : ANS indices reflecting parasympathetic control of heart rate were obtained using heart rate variability (HRV) analyses in 44 ICD patients with documented coronary artery disease (age 62±9 yrs; ejection fraction 35.9±12.7%). Ambulatory 24-hr ECG recordings were used to calculate HRV (rMSSD and pNN50). Depression was assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and anxiety using the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (TMA). Validated cut-off scores were used (depression: BDI≥10; anxiety: TMa≥9), and data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance. Results : ICD patients with depression symptoms (n=12) had significantly lower HRV markers of ANS parasympathetic activity (rMSSD:15.2±5.7 ms vs. 25.0±13.4 ms, p=0.002; pNN50:1.8±2.7% vs. 5.6±5.7%, p=0.006) than patients with low depression symptoms (n=32). High anxiety (n=10) was related to lower rMSSD (p =0.014). Comorbid depression and anxiety was associated with substantial HRV reduction (p<0.001) (Figure ). Conclusion : Depression and anxiety in ICD patients are associated with autonomic nervous system dysregulation (reduced HRV markers of parasympathetic control). Reduced parasympathetic activity may therefore contribute to the elevated risk of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias in ICD patients with depression and anxiety. Figure 1.
