Objectives: Health benefits of aerobic exercises and Yogaasana (Yoga Postures) in lifestyle diseases are well known. There are pointers that these health benefits may be mediated through cardiac autonomic modulation. “Acute State effects” of autonomic modulation during aerobic exercise is fairly established; however there is relative dearth of information about it during Yogasana (Yoga Postures). The purpose of present study is to explore “Acute State Effect” of cardiac autonomic modulations during Yogasana (postures) and mild aerobic exercise (cycling) using heart rate variability (HRV) a cardiac autonomic marker in Yoga naïve volunteers. Materials and Methods: Thirty consenting volunteers between eighteen to twenty five years, of both genders performed test protocol comprised of four blocks of modified yoga postures, one block of cycling each of five minute duration and a block of supine rest that served as baseline. High sampled ECG (1 KHz) was recorded during protocol for HRV analysis. Friedman test for multiple blocks comparison and Wilcoxon signed rank test for pair wise comparison was employed. P < 0.05 considered as significant. Results: Multiple block comparison of HRV indices (P < 0.0001) and for breathing rate (P < 0.0004) were highly significant. Compared to resting baseline a pattern of vagal withdrawal (decrease in HF nu) with increment in average heart rate was observed during modified yogasanas and cycling. Shavasana showed pattern of parasympathetic reactivation with decrement in average heart rate. Conclusion: The pattern of autonomic modulation in Yoga naïve performing modified yogasanas was similar to mild intensity cycling. Shavasana showed pattern of post exercise recovery.

Introdução: Existem poucos estudos que evidenciam a manipulação vertebral relacionada à modulação autonômica cardíaca. Objetivo: Revisar a literatura sobre os efeitos da manipulação vertebral sobre a modulação autonômica cardíaca. Métodos: Foi realizada uma busca bibliográfica nas bases de dados da saúde Medline, Pubmed e Cinahl, no período correspondido entre setembro e novembro de 2014. Foram utilizados os descritores em inglês Spinal Manipulation, Cardiac Autonomic Modulation, Autonomic Nervous System, Heart Rate Variability, além de associações entre eles. Resultados: Foram encontrados 190 artigos, sendo excluídos 39 por serem repetidos, restando 151. Destes, 124 não se encaixaram nos critérios de inclusão e após leitura crítica e análise dos materiais foram selecionados 7 artigos. Grande parte dos estudos revelou que a manipulação da coluna, independente do segmento, demonstra alterações autonômicas, tanto em nível simpático quanto parassimpático. Conclusão: Existem diferentes metodologias para avaliação da modulação autonômica cardíaca, sendo a Variabilidade da Frequência cardíaca através do eletrocardiograma a mais utilizada. A manipulação vertebral exerceu influência, na maioria dos artigos, sobre a modulação autonômica cardíaca.Palavras-chave: manipulação da coluna, sistema nervoso autônomo, variabilidade da frequência cardíaca.

AbstractThis study aimed to assess whether obesity and/or maximal exercise can change 24 h cardiac autonomic modulation and blood pressure in young men. Thirty-nine men (n: 20; 21.9±1.8 kg·m−2, and n: 19; 32.9±2.4 kg·m−2) were randomly assigned to perform a control (non-exercise) and an experimental day exercise (after maximal incremental test). Cardiac autonomic modulation was evaluated through frequency domain heart rate variability (HRV). Obesity did not impair the ambulatory HRV (p>0.05), however higher diastolic blood pressure during asleep time (p=0.02; group main effect) was observed. The 24 h and awake heart rate was higher on the experimental day (p<0.05; day main effect), regardless of obesity. Hypotension on the experimental day, compared to control day, was observed (p<0.05). Obesity indicators were significantly correlated with heart rate during asleep time (Rho=0.34 to 0.36) and with ambulatory blood pressure(r/Rho=0.32 to 0.53). Furthermore, the HRV threshold workload was significantly correlated with ambulatory heart rate (r/Rho=− 0.38 to−0.52). Finally, ambulatory HRV in obese young men was preserved; however, diastolic blood pressure was increased during asleep time. Maximal exercise caused heart rate increase and 24h hypotension, with decreased cardiac autonomic modulation in the first hour, regardless of obesity.

AbstractIntroduction: There is an increase in level of stress in the general population because of the social, personal and professional demands. Currently, there are only simple tools that can safely measure this stress such as levels of cortisol and heart rate variability (HRV). Objective: To analyze the relationship between salivary cortisol and the cardiac autonomic modulation. Methods: A total of fifty-one male and female subjects between 18 and 40 years old were evaluated. Saliva collection was achieved for the salivary cortisol dosage. The collection was performed through the SalivetteR tube. After this collection, the median cortisol levels (0.24 ug/dl) were analyzed and the volunteers were divided into two groups: i) cortisol below the mediane ii) cortisol above the median. After this division, each group consisted of 25 volunteers and then was verified the following information: age, gender, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure. Shortly thereafter was assessment of cardiac autonomic modulation por meio da HRV. The Polar RS800cx heart rate receiver was placed on the chest of the volunteers, in the vicinity of the distal third of the sternum. The volunteers were instructed to remain in rest with spontaneous breathing in dorsal position for 20 minutes. HRV analysis included geometric, time and frequency domain indices. Results: There were no statistical differences for the two groups regarding systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, RR intervals or linear and frequency indices for the volunteers. In addition, also there was no correlation the cortisol with the analyzed variables (SAP, p=0.460; DAP, p = 0.270; HR, p = 0.360; RR, p = 0.380; SDNN, p = 0.510; rMSSD, p = 0.660; pNN50, p = 0.820; RRtri, p = 0.170; TINN, p = 0.470; SD1, p = 0.650; SD2, p = 0.500; LF [ms2], p = 0.880; LF [nu], p = 0.970; HF [ms2], p = 0.870; HF [nu], p = 0.960; LF/HF, p = 0.380 Conclusion: Heart rate variability autonomic control was unchanged in healthy subjects with physiological distribution of salivary cortisol levels. There was no association between normal salivary cortisol and resting autonomic regulation of heart rate.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM) in a population-based sample of adolescents. Methods: We used available data from 400 adolescents who completed the follow up examinations in the population-based PSCC study. 1-night polysomnography was used to assess apnea hypopnea index (AHI). AHI was used to define no-SDB (AHI<1), mild SDB (1≤AHI<5), and moderate SDB (AHI≥5). CAM was assessed by heart rate variability (HRV) analysis of beat-to-beat normal R-R intervals from a 39-hour high resolution Holter ECG. The HRV indices in frequency domain [high frequency power (HF), low frequency power (LF), and LF/HF ratio] and time domain [standard deviation of normal RR intervals (SDNN), and the square root of the mean squared difference of successive normal RR intervals (RMSSD), and heart rate (HR)] were calculated on a 30-minute basis (78 repeated measures). Mixed-effects models were used to assess the SDB and HRV relationship. Results: The mean age was 16.9 yrs (SD=2.19), with 54% male and 77% white. The mean (SD) AHI were 0.52 (0.26), 2.38 (1.03), and 12.27 (14.54) for no-, mild-, and moderate-SDB participants. The age, race, sex, and BMI percentile adjusted mean (SE) HRV indices across three SDB groups are presented in Table 1. In summary, sleep disordered breathing was associated with lower HRV and higher HR in this population-based adolescent sample, with a significant dose-response relationship. Conclusion: moderate SDB in adolescents is already associated with lower HRV, indicative of sympathetic activation and lower parasympathetic modulation, which has been associated with cardiac events in adults.

AbstractIntroduction It is known that physical exercise is beneficial and precipitates adjustments to the autonomic nervous system. However, the effect of exercise on cardiac autonomic modulation in children, despite its importance, is poorly investigated.Objective To bring together current information about the effects of exercise on heart rate variability in healthy and obese children.Methods The literature update was performed through a search for articles in the following databases; PubMed, PEDro, SciELO and Lilacs, using the descriptors “exercise” and “child” in conjunction with the descriptors “autonomic nervous system”, “sympathetic nervous system”, “parasympathetic nervous system” and also with no descriptor, but the key word of this study, “heart rate variability”, from January 2005 to December 2012.Results After removal of items that did not fit the subject of the study, a total of 9 articles were selected, 5 with healthy and 4 with obese children.Conclusion The findings suggest that exercise can act in the normalization of existing alterations in the autonomic nervous system of obese children, as well as serve as a preventative factor in healthy children, enabling healthy development of the autonomic nervous system until the child reaches adulthood.

Objective: To examine the circadian pattern of cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM) and its correlates in a population-based sample of adolescents. Methods: We used the data from 400 adolescents who completed the follow up exam in the PSCC study. CAM was assessed by heart rate variability (HRV) analysis of beat-to-beat normal R-R intervals from a 24-hour (7:00 PM to 7:00 PM) ECG, on a 30-minute basis (48 segments/person). The HRV indices included frequency domain: [high and low frequency powers (HF, LF), and LF/HF ratio] and time domain: [standard deviation of normal RRs (SDNN), and the square root of the mean squared difference of successive normal RRs (RMSSD), and heart rate (HR)]. We used a cosine periodic model to estimate each participant’s circadian parameters: mean (M), amplitude (Â), and crescent time (θ). We then used mixed-effects models to calculate group level circadian pattern as the overall M, Â of the oscillation, and θ of the highest oscillation. Results: The mean age was 16.9 yrs (SD=2.2), with 54% male and 77% white. The mean BMI percentile is 61, with 16% were obese (BMI percentile ≥ 95). Overall, the parasympathetic modulation gradually increases from late afternoon throughout the evening, and reaches the peak amplitude around 3:00 AM, at which it gradually decrease throughout most of the daytime until late afternoon. The age, sex and race showed varying differences on the CAM circadian parameters. In contrast, obesity in adolescents had adverse effects on all three circadian parameters. Using HF (a reliable index of parasympathetic modulation) as an example, the circadian pattern of the entire sample, and stratified by obesity are shown in Figure 1. Conclusion: Circadian pattern of CAM can be quantified by three cosine parameters (M, Â, and θ). Obesity in adolescents is already associated with a CAM profile indicative of sympathetic overflow and reduced parasympathetic modulation, at all levels of the CAM circadian rhythm.
