Is resting heart rate variability associated with exercise capacity in patients with Type 1 diabetes?
Alterations in cardiac autonomic modulation are an early manifestation of uncomplicated T1D and are associated with reduced exercise capacity.
Supports HRV assessment for exercise insights in uncomplicated T1D; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Wilson et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 1 Diabetes (n=40). Type 1 Diabetes vs. Healthy non-diabetic controls was evaluated on Association between resting Total Power (HRV metric) and maximal aerobic capacity (V̇O2max) (R^2 0.30 (T1D), R^2 0.37 (CON), p=<0.05). Resting Total Power, a global indicator of heart rate variability, was positively associated with maximal aerobic capacity in both individuals with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes (R^2=0.30) and healthy controls (R^2=0.37).
