Why the study?

Does aerobic exercise training improve autonomic nervous system activity in obese middle-aged individuals?

Population

18 obese middle-aged men (n=9) and women (n=9), mean age 41.6 +/- 1.2 years, BMI 27.3 +/- 0.4 kg/m2.

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

12 weeks

Implication

May support autonomic gains with aerobic training in obese adults; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Does aerobic exercise training improve autonomic nervous system activity in obese middle-aged individuals?

Population

18 obese middle-aged men (n=9) and women (n=9), mean age 41.6 +/- 1.2 years, BMI 27.3 +/- 0.4 kg/m2.

Intervention

Aerobic exercise training at anaerobic threshold (AT), consisting of 30 min/session, 3 times/wk, for 12 consecutive weeks.

Outcome

Autonomic nervous system (ANS) activities assessed by power spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) at resting condition before, at 5 wk, and after the exercise program.surrogate

A 12-week aerobic exercise program significantly improves both sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic nervous system activity in obese middle-aged individuals.
