Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
1. Incremental effort test conducted on treadmill to determine the intensity considered level 13 of Borg's perceived effort scale by each volunteer. This test was undertaken 48h before the continuous aerobic exercise.
2. Performing of 30min of continuous aerobic exercise running on treadmill at level 13 of Borg's scale.
3. Recording of heart beats after exercise for heart rate variability analysis

Comparator / control treatment
The control group was accompanied by us in another study conducted during one year, so we already knew these volunteers. In this present study the data also were collected during one year. The volunteers of this group were non-obese and sedentary pre-adolescents.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 259834 0
The heart rate variability (HRV) was assessed by Polar S810 and analyzed by the software Polar Precision Performance. The data were analyzed by time and frequency domain. The frequency domain was obtained with the use Fast Fourier Transformed (FFT).
All data were submitted to a filter (very strong) to avoid the artefacts and were obtained in stable conditions (rest and continuous dynamic exercise).
Timepoint [1] 259834 0
The heart beats were recorded for HRV analysis during the 10 to 20min following 30 minutes of aerobic exercise.
Secondary outcome [1] 268688 0

Allocation to intervention
Non-randomised trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The subjects were selected after the researcher conduct a lecture at their schools about the survey and explaining its importance. Then they were selected respecting the criteria for inclusion.
