Abstract

Introduction

Attenuated heart rate recovery (HRR) after exercise has been demonstrated as an independent predictor for mortality in healthy adults. The objective a cross-sectional pilot study was conducted in 10 sedentary overweight men to analyze the correlation between heart rate recovery (HRR) after maximal exercise and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR).

Material and methods

Ten volunteers with a mean age of 33.9 ± 0.9 years and with no conditions relevant to this research were recruited. Peak oxygen consumption (VO₂peak) was measured using an ergospirometer. Other measurements included body mass index, body fat percentage, waist circumference, fasting blood glycemia, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and lipid profile.

Results

Heart rate (HR), was recorded as an absolute value at 1, 3, and 30 min (HRR1, HRR3, and HRR30, respectively) post-exercise. HRR1, HRR3, and HRR30 showed a positive correlation with HOMA-IR (r = 0.88, 0.81, and 0.91, respectively; p ≤ 0.001), insulinemia (r = 0.71; p ≤ 0.001), and glycemia (r = 0.87; p ≤ 0.001). Also, there were significant differences for HRR1 (p < 0.001), HRR3 (p < 0.001) and HRR30 (p < 0.005), between insulin-resistant and non-insulin-resistant subjects.

Conclusions

Our results demonstrate that HRR was inversely associated with IR in sedentary overweight adult men, indicating the use of non-invasive techniques, such as HRR, can be important to investigate the possible relationship between metabolic disorders and the regulation of cardiac function.

久坐超重智利成年男性最大运动后心率恢复与胰岛素抵抗的相关性：一项初步研究

运动后心率恢复（HRR）减弱已被证明是健康成人死亡率的独立预测因子。目的：对10名久坐超重男性进行横断面初步研究，分析最大运动后心率恢复（HRR）与胰岛素抵抗（HOMA-IR）之间的相关性。材料与方法招募10名志愿者，平均年龄33.9±0.9岁，无本研究相关条件。峰值耗氧量（vo2峰值）用肺活量计测定。其他测量包括体重指数、体脂率、腰围、空腹血糖、胰岛素抵抗（HOMA-IR）和血脂。结果记录运动后1、3、30分钟（HRR1、HRR3、HRR30）心率（HR）的绝对值。HRR1、HRR3、HRR30与HOMA-IR （r分别为0.88、0.81、0.91,p≤0.001）、胰岛素血症（r = 0.71, p≤0.001）、血糖（r = 0.87, p≤0.001）呈正相关。胰岛素抵抗组和非胰岛素抵抗组的HRR1 （p < 0.001）、HRR3 （p < 0.001）和HRR30 （p < 0.005）也存在显著差异。结论我们的研究结果表明，久坐超重成年男性的HRR与IR呈负相关，表明使用非侵入性技术，如HRR，可能对研究代谢紊乱与心功能调节之间的可能关系很重要。
