Key result
A 16-week aerobic exercise program increased peak aerobic capacity only among obese individuals with high baseline cardiovagal modulation, regardless of diabetes status (P<0.05).
Why the study?
Does a 16-week aerobic exercise program improve peak aerobic capacity in obese individuals with and without Type 2 diabetes?

Baseline cardiovagal modulation may identify obese exercise responders; hypothesis-generating in this cohort and requires randomized confirmation.

p-value: p=< 0.05
Baseline cardiovagal modulation predicts the improvement in peak aerobic capacity following a 16-week aerobic exercise program in obese individuals with and without Type 2 diabetes.
Baynard et al. (2013) studied Obesity with or without Type 2 diabetes (n=57). Aerobic exercise program vs. Low cardiovagal modulation (LCVM) baseline was evaluated on Peak aerobic capacity (VO2peak) (p=< 0.05). A 16-week aerobic exercise program increased peak aerobic capacity only among obese individuals with high baseline cardiovagal modulation, regardless of diabetes status (P<0.05).
