Abstract
We evaluated the impact that (1) voluntariness and (2) extent of telework had on 24h heart rate variability (HRV) measured objectively for three days in white-collar workers during the COVID- 19 pandemic. Workers with high voluntariness had higher root mean square of successive differences between R-R intervals (RMSSD), however high extent of telework did not affect HRV metrics, after adjusting for suitable covariates. These results may indicate higher parasympathetic activity, an indicator of good health.
