INFLUÊNCIA DA OBESIDADE NA RESPOSTA CARDIORRESPIRATÓRIA, VARIABILIDADE DA FREQUÊNCIA CARDÍACA E PRESSÃO ARTERIAL DURANTE O EXERCÍCIO FÍSICO

Abstract

Obesity accounts for approximately 5% of all deaths in the world. In addition, it is associated with a number of noncommunicable diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Thus, the purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of obesity and anthropometric rates on cardiorespiratory responses, blood pressure and heart rate variability (HRV) during exercise in obese patients. This study was a bibliographical review of databases of Scielo, Lilacs, PubMed in the Virtual Library in Health. Studies that have been performed in addition to increased blood pressure during exercise also increase heart rate and decrease heart rate interval. Therefore, it is concluded that obesity has a negative repercussion on cardiorespiratory response, HRV and blood pressure. However, cardiac responses appear to improve with chronic adaptation to exercise and reduced body weight levels
