Figure 5From: Exercise prior to a freely requested meal modifies pre and postprandial glucose profile, substrate oxidation and sympathovagal balanceTime courses and area under curves of postlunch heart rate variability (HRV) indices. Heart rate (A, HR, in bpm), low-frequency (B, LF, in ms2), high-frequency (HF) in ms2 (C) and in normalised units (D, HFnu), and LF/HF ratio (E). The black rectangles indicate lunch intake period and the grey rectangles indicate the 15 min gas exchange periods. All results are mean ± SEM. *EX significantly different from RT, p < 0.05.Back to article page
