Heart rate rather than heart rate variability is better associated with cardiorespiratory fitness in adults
This study aimed to examine the association of heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) with cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in adults. This cross-sectional study included 204 participants: 132 young adults (67% women; 22.3 ± 2.3 years) and 72 middle-aged adults (53% women; 53.2 ± 5 years). HR and HRV were measured using a Polar RS800CX heart rate monitor. CRF was assessed using a metabolic cart during an incremental test. HR was negatively associated with CRF relative to body weight (BW) in young adults adjusting for sex, age, and physical activity (β ranged from -0.200 to -0.195; all

Impact of using different levels of threshold-based artefact correction on the quantification of heart rate variability in three independent human cohorts
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive indicator of autonomic nervous system function. HRV recordings show artefacts due to technical and/or biological issues. The Kubios software is one of the most used software to process HRV recordings, offering different levels of threshold-based artefact correction (i.e., Kubios filters). The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of different Kubios filters on the quantification of HRV derived parameters from short-term recordings in three independent human cohorts. A total of 312 participants were included: 107 children with overweight/obesity (10.0 ±
Transcriptional and Epigenetic Response to Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review.
Background: The links of sedentary behavior and physical activity with health outcomes in children and adolescents is well known. However, the molecular mechanisms involved are poorly understood.We aimed to synthesize the current knowledge of the association of sedentary behavior and physical activity (acute and chronic effects) with gene expression and epigenetic modifications in children and adolescents. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were systematically searched until April 2022. A total of 15 articles were eligible for this review. The risk of bias assessment was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool for Systematic Reviews and/or a mo…
