The purpose of this study was to test the hypotheses that in obese children: 1) hypocaloric diet (D) improves both heart rate recovery at 1 min (Δ HRR1) cfter an exercise test, and cardiac autonomic nervous system activity (CANSA) in obese children; 2) Diet and exercise training (DET) combined leads to greater improvement in both Δ HRR1 after an exercise test and in CANSA, than D alone. Moreover, we examined the relationships among Δ HRR1, CANSA, cardiorespiratory fitness and anthropometric variables (AV) in obese children submitted to D and to DET. 33 obese children (10 ± 0.2 years; body mass index (BMI) >95 (th) percentile) were divided into 2 groups: D (n=15; BMI=31 ± 1 kg/m²)) and DET (n=18; 29 ± 1 kg/m²). All children performed a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test on a treadmill. The Δ HRR1 or LF/HF ratio (P>0.05). In contrast, the DET group showed increased peak VO₂ ( P=0.01) and improved Δ HRR1 (Δ HRR1=37.3 ± 2.6; P=0.01) and LF/HF ratio ( P=0.001). The DET group demonstrated significant relationships among Δ HRR1, peak VO₂ and CANSA (P<0.05). In conclusion, DET, in contrast to D, promoted improved ÄΔ HRR1 and CANSA in obese children, suggesting a positive influence of increased levels of cardiorespiratory fitness by exercise training on cardiac autonomic activity.
1)低热量饮食(D)可改善肥胖儿童运动试验后 1 分钟时的心率恢复(Δ HRR1)和心脏自主神经活动(CANSA);2)饮食和运动训练(DET)的联合应用可使运动试验后 Δ HRR1 和 CANSA 的改善程度大于 D 单独应用;3)我们还研究了接受 D 和 DET 的肥胖儿童中Δ HRR1、CANSA、心肺功能适应性和人体测量变量(AV)之间的关系。33 名肥胖儿童(10±0.2 岁;体重指数(BMI)>95 百分位数)分为 2 组:D 组(n=15;BMI=31±1kg/m²)和 DET 组(n=18;BMI=29±1kg/m²)。所有儿童均在跑步机上进行最大心肺运动试验。与 D 组相比,DET 组的峰值 VO₂显著增加( P=0.01),Δ HRR1(Δ HRR1=37.3±2.6; P=0.01)和 LF/HF 比值( P=0.001)也显著改善。DET 组中Δ HRR1、峰值 VO₂和 CANSA 之间存在显著相关性( P<0.05)。总之,与 D 相比,DET 可改善肥胖儿童的 Δ HRR1 和 CANSA,表明运动训练可增加心肺功能适应性,从而对心脏自主活动产生积极影响。
