Summary

Overall objective: To analyze the relationship of the physical activity practice measured directly with the autonomic cardiac modulation in adults. Specific objectives: i) to verify through the Baecke questionnaire whether the different domains of physical activity (work, leisure and occupational activities) are related in the same way to the autonomic cardiac modulation; ii) Analyze whether high blood pressure and resting heart rate values are related to poor cardiac autonomic modulation regardless of nutritional status.

Detailed description

Cardiovascular disease is a major public health problem and has contributed to a high mortality rate in the adult population. One of the precursors of these diseases is low cardiac autonomic modulation. Thus, factors that may be related to greater cardiac autonomic modulation should be investigated with the aim of preventing cardiovascular diseases. One of these factors that may contribute to increases in cardiac autonomic modulation is the practice of physical activity. However, the studies investigating this relationship have been controversial, generally evaluating the practice of physical activity in a subjective way, and there is no clarity as to whether the different domains of physical activity would be related differently to cardiac autonomic modulation. Overall objective: To analyze the relationship of the physical activity practice measured directly with the autonomic cardiac modulation in adults. Specific objectives: i) to verify through the Baecke questionnaire whether the different domains of physical activity (work, leisure and occupational activities) are related in the same way to the autonomic cardiac modulation; ii) Analyze whether high blood pressure and resting heart rate values are related to poor cardiac autonomic modulation regardless of nutritional status. Implications: The results of this study will contribute to clarify the relationship between physical activity practice and cardiac autonomic modulation considering a large sample of subjects (n = 252), as well as whether the different domains of physical activity are related to autonomic modulation cardiac. These results may help in the elaboration of health promotion strategies.
