TL;DR

A 3-week intensive exercise program improved heart rate variability (HRV) in people with metabolic syndrome, with moderate-intensity training showing greater improvements in stress balance (sympathovagal balance), while high-intensity resistance training led to larger reductions in overall heart rate, suggesting that tailoring exercise intensity can optimize specific cardiovascular health markers for self-experimenters.
