Implication
Hypothesis-generating in obese youths; prospective studies needed to clarify causal links between fitness, insulin, and autonomic balance.

Outcome
Cardiac autonomic neural activity (heart rate variability), metabolic risk factors, and cardiorespiratory fitnesssurrogate
In overweight and obese youths, fasting insulin, heart rate variability, and cardiorespiratory fitness are linked independently of the degree of obesity.
