This study aimed to investigate the influence of different exercise training modalities on heart rate variability (HRV) in sedentary middle-aged adults; and to study whether changes in health-related outcomes (i.e., body composition and cardiometabolic risk) are associated with those hypothetical HRV changes in sedentary middle-aged adults.
A total of 66 middle-aged adults (53.6 ± 4.4 years old; 50% women) were enrolled in the FIT-AGEING study. We conducted a 12-week randomized controlled trial. The participants were randomly assigned to 4 groups: (a) a control group (no exercise); (b) a physical activity recommendation from the World Health Organization group (PAR); (c) a high-intensity interval training group (HIIT); and (d) a high-intensity interval training group adding whole-body electromyostimulation (HIIT + EMS).
All exercise training modalities induced changes in HRV parameters (all P ≤ 0.001) without statistical differences between them (all P > 0.05). We found associations between changes in body composition and cardiometabolic risk and exercise-related changes in HRV.
Our results suggest that different exercise interventions (i.e., PAR, HIIT and HIIT + EMS) induced an enhancement of HRV in sedentary middle-aged adults. Our findings support the notion that exercise-related changes in HRV are associated with changes in body composition and cardiometabolic risk after the intervention program CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY: NCT03334357 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

本研究旨在探讨不同运动训练方式对久坐中年成年人心率变异性(HRV)的影响;并研究健康相关结果(即身体成分和心血管代谢风险)的变化是否与久坐中年成年人的假设 HRV 变化相关。
共有 66 名中年成年人(53.6±4.4 岁;50%为女性)参加了 FIT-AGEING 研究。我们进行了一项为期 12 周的随机对照试验。参与者被随机分配到 4 个组:(a)对照组(无运动);(b)世界卫生组织推荐的身体活动组(PAR);(c)高强度间歇训练组(HIIT);和(d)高强度间歇训练组增加全身肌电刺激(HIIT+EMS)。
所有运动训练方式均引起 HRV 参数的变化(所有 P≤0.001),但它们之间无统计学差异(所有 P>0.05)。我们发现身体成分和心血管代谢风险的变化与 HRV 与运动相关的变化之间存在关联。
我们的结果表明,不同的运动干预措施(即 PAR、HIIT 和 HIIT+EMS)可增强久坐中年成年人的 HRV。我们的研究结果支持这样的观点,即 HRV 与运动相关的变化与干预后身体成分和心血管代谢风险的变化有关。
