Context. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is strongly associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). MetS and OSA cause sympathetic hyperactivation, which mechanisms are not completely known. Metabolic, inflammatory and baro/chemoreflex control alterations may could explain, at least in part, the sympathetic hyperactivation. Objectives. In this study we intend to investigate whether OSA has an a…
Background. The association of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) impairs sympathovagal balance. However, the mechanisms are not completely understood. Metabolic and inflammatory alterations can be candidates to explain, at least in part, this impairment. Objectives. We will investigate: 1) The overlap of OSA in MetS has an additive effect on metabolic and inflamm…
Introduction: Heart Rate (HR) is one of the more physiological variables used for exercise prescription and easily measured. There are several formulas to predict the Maximum Heart Rate (HR max). Objective: To examine the compatibility of the formulas "reserve FC - FCres (Karvonen)" and "% HRmax" predicted for age with the anaerobic threshold (AT) and respiratory compensation point (RCP) …
SummaryMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by overlapping of risk factors such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, insulin resistance and visceral obesity. Independently, these factors cause morphological and functional changes in the vascular system, which directly relate to increased risk of cardiovascular events and death. This study aims to: 1) identify any impairment on central and…
Background. Patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) frequently have the co-morbid obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Recent studies have shown that the prevalence of OSA in MetS patients is about 60%. In MetS, the overlap of OSA exacerbates muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and impairs sympathovagal balance. However, the mechanisms and its integration are not completely understood. Met…
This study seeks to validate a new technique for evaluation of body composition through the scan with 3D image of the body volumes (BV), easy and safe application for the diagnosis of obesity. The aim of this study is first to assess the validity and diagnostic performance of BV to diagnose obesity when compared to various body composition techniques and obesity measures; and second, to a…
