High vagal tone in athletes results in bradycardia and repolarization anomalies on the resting ECG. Bradycardia permits enhanced diastolic filling, which in turn results in highly effective ...
Poor vagal tone is not something you can think yourself out of. “How our neural circuits distinguish between safe and dangerous is below the level of conscious awareness,” explains Jessica.
In short, it helps our bodies restore homeostasis or equilibrium. Instances of ‘low vagal tone’ (a condition when the vagus nerve is not firing well) are associated with slower physical and ...
