 This study examined the effects of apneic facial immersion (AFI) on the cardiovascular system and plasma catecholamine secretion (experiment 1) and compared the effects of breath holding in air (BHA), facial immersion breathing through a snorkel (FIBS) and AFI on electrocardiographic variations and plasma catecholamine secretion (experiment 2). Eleven and seventeen healthy subjects of both genders partipated in experiment 1 and 2 respectively. RR interval remained prolonged following the initial shortening and prolongation, while blood pressure and plasma catecholamine concentration increased progressively during AFI at 5℃ water temperature. In addition the increase of plasma catecholamine concentration accompanied by the RR interval prolongation during AFI reproduced. The magnitude of bradycardia induced by AFI was greater than that induced by either BHA or FIBS at 5℃ water temperature. Although plasma catecholamine concentration increased due to BHA and FIBS, the increase of plasma adrenaline (A) concentration was greater in BHA than in FIBS, while the increase of plasma noradrenaline (NA) concentration was greater in FIBS than in BHA. Furthermore incidence rate of arrhythmias induced by AFI was greater than that induced by either BHA or FIBS. From these results, the following two points are suggested : 1) Cardiac vagus and sympathetic nerve activity is accelerated simultaneously during AFI and this feature of autonomic nerve activity is more prominent in AFI than in either BHA or FIBS, allowing a higher incidence rate of arrhythmias during AFI ; 2) Breath holding is the main factor resulting in the increase in plasma A concentration during AFI and face cooling is the main factor resulting in the increase in plasma NA concentration during AFI.
