Manager’s Heart Rate in Competition – Your Mental Approach to GamesDes Jennings (SINI), Kevin McGuigan (Ulster GAA)
What is Heart Rate?• What is it?– The body’s ‘rev counter’;
• What does it feel like? – Practical Example 1 (Volunteer)
• How do stress and physical activity affect HR?– “It’s far more dangerous when stress causes the response because the
adrenaline tends to narrow the arteries and that could contribute to the risk of heart disease”. (Dugmore, 2002)
What Can Affect HR?
Exercise 2
• In groups of 2 / 3 discuss what events during a match YOU THINK can affect / impact upon HR?
• Feedback ;
• Discussion .
Picture this....
Background – Dugmore (2002)
Peak HR – 120 BPM Peak HR – 160 BPM
Dugmore (2002)• “Getting your heart to these sorts of levels would
normally only happen if you had done a vigorous work-out in the gym”.
• “Your heart needs to be fit to withstand those surges... ...many managers are former players and if they don’t take care of themselves, they will be at significant risk”.
Remember!
It’s far more dangerous when stress causes the response because the adrenaline tends to narrow the
arteries and that could contribute to the risk of heart disease”. (Dugmore,
2002)
The Project - Overview• 5 Senior Inter-county managers and 2 University managers
participated;• Each wore a real time HR monitor for the duration of the
match;• Key incidents were annotated on the system during the
match;• A total of 17 results were gathered across a range of matches
of varying intensity;• McKenna Cup;• NFL;• Ulster Senior Football Championship

Results
• There was an overall reduction in cortisol levels of 9.4% (range -32.8 to +29.6%) in the HM group compared to an overall increase of 21.1% (range -16.1 to +127.9%) in the CON group.
Testimonial• I found it helpful in helping deal with pressure situations such as before big
games and even before interviews and presentations in university.
• Yes, I felt the training taught me to be more in touch with my body and helped me channel nervous energy into positive energy effectively.
• I found the Heartmath useful to help control my heart rate and breathing.
• Tried to use the breathing technique during periods of pressure in games and training. If this was useful or successful was very hard to measure however it did provide a method of routine which in turn helped in focussing my attention in the present.
• I used it in particular with my kicking practice, and found it very useful.

Recommendations• How do you mentally prepare for games?
– Visualisation;– Mental Rehearsal;
• How do you prepare your support team for games?– Runners / Physio / Doctor / Selectors;– Does everyone know their role on match day?
• Do you prepare for What if Scenarios?– Not all situations can be controlled, do you have contingencies in place
for unforeseen developments?– Injuries / Red Cards / Bad Start
Recommendations• Are you watching the game rather than engrossed in it?
– Learning to take a backward step;– Remove the emotion from the situation;
• How fit are you?– Good fitness levels can help keep a lower heart rate;– It can also protect you from a health perspective;
• Can you regulate your heart rate during the game?– Breathing techniques;– Relaxation techniques.
