“…A study that examined the effect of several obesity parameters on cardiac parasympathetic reactivation between obese and normal-fat subjects showed no difference in parasympathetic reactivation using HRR assessment. In addition, this study showed no significant association between parameters of excess fat gain, including BMI, WHR, fat percentage, and trunk fat with HRR (28). Some studies have found evidence regarding the relationship between clinical factors and heart rate reduction after an exercise test.…”

Background: Heart rate recovery (HRR) after exercise is a specific measure of the functioning of the autonomic nervous system. A rapid HRR immediately after exercise is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Besides, there is a correlation between post-exercise HRR and cardiovascular risk factors. Objectives: This study investigated the correlation between obesity indices after exercise testing and HRR to evaluate the autonomic system and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 108 non-random consecutive patients over 18 years old with indications for exercise testing were selected from those referred to Modarres Hospital in Tehran between 2021 - 2022. The patients were subjected to an exercise test, and the decrease in heart rate was recorded in the first and second minutes after the exercise testing. Then, the correlation between obesity indices and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and the HHR was evaluated. Results: Based on our results, none of the obesity indices such as weight, height, BMI, neck circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, WHR, ABSI, ABI, or BAI showed a significant correlation with the reduction of the heart rate one and two minutes after the exercise test. However, the heart rate reduction one minute after the exercise test was significantly lower in patients with a family history of heart disease. Also, the heart rate reduction two minutes after the exercise test was significantly lower in diabetic patients, hyperlipidemic patients, and patients with insufficient sleep. Conclusions: Although there was no significant correlation between obesity indices and heart rate reduction after exercise tests due to the harmful effects of obesity and overweight on cardiac function and its increasing prevalence, clinical trial studies will be beneficial in clarifying the effects of obesity indices on cardiac efficiency.

“…Before ETT, participants were instructed to minimize talking as much as possible unless asked by the examiner to answer questions during the test. The test was performed with the same protocol used in a previous study [16]. The face mask was connected to a breathby-breath gas analysis COSMED Quark CPET.…”

Background: Recently, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) has been postulated as an adverse health outcome related to poor sleep quality. However, studies investigating the relationship between CRF with subjective sleep quality index are scarce. Thus, the current study aimed to investigate the association between CRF and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) in apparently healthy people. The secondary aim was to investigate the association between reported physical activities (PA) and PSQI. Methods: 33 apparently healthy male participants volunteered to participate. CRF (VO2 peak) was measured via cardiopulmonary exercise testing on a treadmill. A short form of the International physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to measure PA, and PSQI was used for sleep quality index. Results: There was no correlation between CRF and PSQI total score or any component of the PSQI. Also, there was no correlation between IPAQ and PSQI total score. Categorical data analysis of the two questionnaires revealed that 45.5% of the participants reported low physical activity and poor sleep quality. Conclusions: There was no association between CRF, reported PA with subjective sleep quality index. The use of objective tools for assessing the quality and quantity of sleep should be recommended for future studies as it may clarify the association between CRF and sleep quality.
