During the GXT, all participants in the analytic data set, except 3 females, were above an absolute HRRec of 18 bpm, a cutoff value for abnormal 1-minute HRRec observed in a previous study ( Supplemental Table 1 ; DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.14691099 ) ( 36 ). VO 2peak was not associated with absolute HRRec at 1-, 2-, or 3-minutes when males and females were examined separately, or when the entire cohort of participants were combined ( Table 2 ; Figure 1 ). Absolute HRRec was also not significantly associated with VO 2peak at 1-, 2-, or 3-minutes when controlling for body fat %. Increased absolute HRRec at 3-minutes was associated with an increased waist circumference for the total study group only. However, absolute HRRec at 1-, 2-, and 3-minutes were not significantly associated with age, BMI, or other anthropometric measures for males, females, or the total study group ( Table 2 ). Males had a significantly greater VO 2peak than females ( Table 3 ). The difference between absolute HRRec at 1-min and 2-min was also not associated with VO 2peak in males, females, or the total study group.

Increased age (r = −0.28; p = 0.03), BMI (r = −0.47; p < 0.01) and waist (r = −0.27; p = 0.04), abdominal (r = −0.43; p < 0.01), and hip circumferences (r = −0.46; p < 0.01) were associated with a lower VO 2peak for the total study group. Males, compared to females, had higher HR at peak exercise as well as higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure at baseline, peak exercise, and during recovery ( Table 3 ).
Total body DXA scans were used to determine body composition measures for all participants. Body composition varied in our cohort (%fat range:12.4–51.7%). Increased absolute HRRec at 1-minute was associated with increased fat-free mass in the total study group only. However, fat mass, %fat, and mineral-free lean mass were not associated with absolute HRRec in males, females, or total study group ( Table 2 ). Increased %fat and fat mass were associated with a reduced VO 2peak in males and females separately, as well as the total study group. Also increased mineral-free lean mass and fat-free mass was associated with an increased VO 2peak for the total study group only ( Figure 2 ). Males had greater fat-free mass and mineral-free lean mass compared to females ( Table 1 ). Additionally, females had greater body fat percentage compared to males ( Table 1 ).
Pearson correlation was used to compare VO 2peak from the GXT max to body fat percentage (A), fat mass (B), mineral-free lean mass (C), and fat-free mass (D).
Since peak HR varied within our cohort (range: 157–210), we also examined the relationship between VO 2peak and relative HRRec, which accounts for variability in peak HR. Relative HRRec at 1, 2, or 3 minutes were not significantly associated with measures of VO 2peak when males and females were examined separately, or when the entire cohort of participants were combined ( Figure 1 , Table 4 ). Relative HRRec was also not significantly associated with VO 2peak at 1-, 2-, or 3-mintues when controlling for body fat %. Greater relative HRRec at 3 minutes was associated with increasing age and increasing fat mass for the total study group only. However, relative HRRec measures were not significantly associated with BMI, or any other anthropometric and body composition measure for males, females, or the total study group ( Table 4 ).

HRRec is recognized as a powerful prognostic measure and predictor of mortality in older adults ( 5 , 6 , 9 ). HRRec and VO 2peak are both used to inform clinical practices in older adults because they are associated with health and longevity ( 2 , 3 , 9 ). Furthermore, numerous studies have shown that HRRec and VO 2peak are increased in physically active compared to sedentary participants, and after completing various exercise regimens, suggesting an important physiological relationship between HRRec and cardiorespiratory fitness ( 14 , 16 , 17 , 37 ). However, the utility of HRRec as an indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness may vary by population and has not been well-studied in young sedentary adults.
Consistent with this study, Tonello et al. also examined the association between cardiorespiratory fitness and HRRec in young (mean age: 34.5yrs) adults not participating in structured exercise and found no association between VO 2peak and 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-minute HRRec ( 24 ). While our study and Tonello et al. both studied young sedentary adults, the 2 studies used somewhat different methods. Our study included both sexes and determined VO 2peak and HRRec from treadmill exercise testing, while Tonello et al. studied only females and used a cycle ergometer. Maximal oxygen uptake measured by cycle ergometer has been shown to be lower than treadmill protocols ( 38 , 39 ). Also, Tonello et al. utilized a submaximal test to measure HRRec (that induced a HR at 86% age-predicted max), while our participants performed a GXT max to volitional fatigue for determination of HRRec. Thus, despite distinct methodological differences, the fact that our 2 studies had similar results is strong evidence that HRRec may not be a valid indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness in young, sedentary adults.
Our study examined HRRec at 1-, 2-, and 3-minutes as these are the measures that have been associated with cardiorespiratory fitness in other populations ( 19 , 23 , 40 ). HRRec after exercise is orchestrated by both the parasympathetic and sympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system ( 41 ). Parasympathetic reactivation is predominately responsible for the decrease in heart rate immediately following exercise, while sympathetic withdrawal occurs more gradually ( 41 , 42 ). For this reason, previous studies have considered HRRec at 1- and 2-minutes an indicator of vagal reactivation ( 5 , 6 ). In our study of young sedentary adults, HRRec at 1-, 2-, and 3-min was not significantly associated with cardiorespiratory fitness in our total analytic data set or when stratified by sex. Thus, vagal reactivation may not be a reliable indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness in this population.
Our study cohort spanned a large range of adiposities, and 47% of participants were overweight or obese (BMI≥25). Previous studies found that increased obesity is associated with reduced 1-minute HRRec ( 43 , 44 ). In contrast, our data revealed that an increased waist circumference was associated with a greater absolute 3-min HRRec and increased fat mass was associated with a greater relative 3-min HRRec. However, this unexpected finding may be due to the difference in physiological significance of the 3-minute HRRec measure compared to the 1-minute (i.e., sympathetic withdrawal vs. parasympathetic reactivation). Also, our previous data showed that HRRec following a GXT max was similar in healthy-weight and obese children, indicating that young individuals with poor body composition can have normal vagal reactivation following exercise ( 45 ).
Physical activity status may be another factor influencing the relationship between VO 2peak and HRRec. Studies in young adults, which included both physically active and sedentary participants, reported a significant association between VO 2peak and HRRec ( 22 , 23 , 40 ). Studies have also found that subjectively- and objectively-measured physical activity were associated with HRRec ( 23 , 24 ). Although our subjects did not participate in structured exercise, incidental activity may have influenced HRRec, as shown by Tonello et al ( 24 ). In fact, fat-free mass, which is affected by sedentary behavior ( 46 ), was associated with 1-min HRRec in our cohort. Age may also be an important factor since a significant association between VO 2peak and HRRec following a maximal treadmill test was observed in older adults with congestive heart failure ( 19 ). Thus, sedentary behavior and young age appear to be important contributing factors when determining if HRRec is a valid indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness.
We also found that VO 2peak was associated with body fat and fat-free body composition measures. Although VO 2peak is expressed relative to body mass, the composition of body mass varies. In agreement with our findings, previous research reported that greater %fat was associated with reduced VO 2peak and greater fat free mass was associated with increased VO 2peak ( 47 , 48 ).
There were some limitations of our study. First, our HRRec measures were collected during passive recovery while participants remained standing. Other studies collected either active recovery measures or passive recovery measures while participants were seated or lying down ( 6 , 23 , 36 ). However, immediately moving participants to a seated or supine position following a maximal exercise test can be difficult in practice. Since our goal was to inform clinical utility, we collected measures while participants remained standing. Second, our sample size was small with varying adiposities. However, since we designed this study to inform on clinical utility of HRRec in the general population, our inclusion criteria included young, relatively healthy, and sedentary individuals, and no exclusion criteria regarding obesity status were implemented. Third, we did not control for dietary supplements that may have been consumed during the study. Fourth, we did not control for the phase of the menstrual cycle when the GXT max was performed for female participants. It is possible that phase of the menstrual cycle may influence maximal oxygen uptake ( 49 ).
Since the clinical utility of HRRec was first introduced in the late 1990s, many studies have investigated HRRec as a measure of cardiovascular health and fitness in a variety of populations ( 5 , 20 , 23 , 24 ). HRRec has been shown to be a useful diagnostic and prognostic tool for coronary artery disease, heart failure and mortality in older adults, including cardiovascularly healthy participants and heart failure patients ( 5 – 7 ). However, few studies have been performed in young, sedentary adults, which is a rapidly expanding and at-risk population. Valid, non-invasive measures of cardiorespiratory fitness are needed to identify at-risk individuals at a young age and develop interventional therapeutic strategies.
The prevalence of cardiovascular disease among U.S. adults is a staggering 49% of the population ( 50 ). We found that HRRec measures were not significantly associated with VO 2peak in a sample of young, sedentary, adults. While HRRec measures have been used as a clinical indicator of health and morbidity in other populations, they are not a reliable indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness in sedentary young adults.

By taylor nicioli, cnn | posted - july 15, 2024 at 10:22 a.m., the mediterranean diet could be beneficial to children's heart health, according to a new study. (vaaseenaa, istockphoto/getty images).
Estimated read time: 4-5 minutes
ATLANTA — The Mediterranean diet has been linked to many health benefits for adults. Now, a new study suggests it could be beneficial to children's heart health as well.
An analysis of nine earlier studies including 577 participants from the ages of 3 to 18 has found incorporating the Mediterranean diet for at least eight weeks had a significant association with lowering blood pressure and total cholesterol, according to the study published Friday in the journal JAMA Network Open .
The research further supports that incorporating healthy dietary habits early in life can help prevent cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, which often originate in childhood, researchers say.
"Early dietary habits significantly influence long-term health outcomes," said lead study author Dr. José Francisco López-Gil, a senior researcher with One Health Research Group at the University of the Americas in Quito, Ecuador, in an email.
"The key takeaway for parents is the importance of promoting a diet rich in whole foods and healthy fats to optimize their children's health and reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases."
Knowing the benefits the Mediterranean diet has for adults' cardiometabolic health, the findings are not surprising but provide further emphasis on the importance of having a diet of unprocessed foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats and fish for all stages of life, said Dr. Stuart Berger, division head of pediatric cardiology at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Berger was not involved with the study.
Here's how parents and guardians could help their children benefit from the Mediterranean eating plan, according to experts.
The Mediterranean diet is a way of eating that includes plant-based cooking with an emphasis on healthy fats. Fruits, vegetables, beans, seeds, nuts, whole grains, lean meats and fish are all contributors to the dietary plan.
Not every child needs to adopt a Mediterranean diet, but it is important to increase "real foods" in children's diets and decrease highly processed foods that have added sugars and sodium, said Dr. Natalie Muth, a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics, who was not involved with the research.
"We know that calories from ultraprocessed foods make up about 70% of a typical teenager's intake. Any change that can lower intake of things like chips, cookies, and sodas and increase intake of fruits and vegetables is a big win," said Muth, a pediatrician and registered dietitian at the WELL Clinic at Children's Primary Care Medical Group in San Diego.
It is always important to keep in mind a child's preferences and to incorporate cultural traditions into any guidance around food choices, Muth added. For those looking to shift to the Mediterranean eating plan, following age-appropriate dietary plans and exercise recommended by a child's pediatrician is also key, said Berger, who is a professor of pediatrics at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.
Gathering together as a family over a meal as a way to connect also plays a major role in the Mediterranean diet, said Dr. Tamara Hannon, director of the clinical pediatric diabetes program at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health in Indianapolis.
"Parents need to lead by example by eating using this pattern, offering structured meals and snacks (scheduled), and exercising daily," she added in an email. Hannon, who is also a professor of pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine, was not involved with the research.
Hannon also recommends parents and guardians limit their children's eating between structured meals and snacks as well as eliminating sugary beverages and juices to improve blood glucose and weight management.
The authors of the new report found a variation in results across the earlier studies analyzed, which can be attributed to the differing factors of diet and physical activity each study displayed. Despite the variations, the Mediterranean diet consistently improved blood pressure levels and lipid profiles, López-Gil said, which can lower the risk of cardiometabolic problems later in life such as heart attacks, strokes and diabetes.
The researchers were surprised they didn't find evidence of any effects on glucose and insulin levels, López-Gil said. The impact the Mediterranean diet has on these health factors could be less pronounced, or could require a longer time frame to have an effect, he added. The study looked at the results of kids adopting the dietary plan from eight to 40 weeks.
"We'll need to do more studies on kids in particular," Berger said, "but reviewing these studies suggest the … beneficial effects of the so-called Mediterranean diet and everything associated with it."
Further research should include larger sample sizes and more diverse populations as well as longitudinal studies to assess the long-term effects of the Mediterranean diet on kids' cardiometabolic health, López-Gil said.
"The growing research shows the value (in the Mediterranean diet) to be the same for children and adolescents (as in adults)," Muth said. "One of the most impactful steps a parent can take to help improve kids' nutrition is to commit to regular family meals and try to prepare foods at home, as often as possible. The more kids are exposed to fruits, vegetables, and fish, the more likely they will try them and like them eventually."

5. joe biden’s job approval, views of the republican and democratic parties, table of contents.
Today, about a third of Americans (32%) approve of the job President Joe Biden is doing, while 66% disapprove.
Biden’s approval ratings have ticked down from a modest improvement in April and are back to about where they were at the beginning of the year.
Ratings of Biden’s job performance have been more negative than positive since summer 2021.
About six-in-ten Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents approve of Biden’s job performance. These ratings also are down slightly from April, but on par with views measured earlier this year. But Democratic approval of Biden remains well below where it was at the beginning of his administration.
Nearly all Republicans and Republican leaners continue to disapprove of Biden’s job performance. Just 5% currently approve of how he is handling his job.
Across gender, race and ethnicity, age and education, majorities in most demographic groups disapprove of Biden’s job performance.
Majorities of White (70%), Hispanic (66%) and Asian (61%) adults disapprove of Biden’s performance in the White House.
About half of Black adults (51%) approve of Biden’s job, while 46% disapprove.
At least six-in-ten Americans in each age group disapprove of Biden’s job as president. Evaluations are somewhat more negative among Americans under 50 than among those ages 50 and older (70% vs. 62%). In recent years, younger Americans have tended to view Biden’s performance more negatively than have older Americans.
Americans with a postgraduate degree (48%) continue to be more likely than those with less educational experience to approve of the president’s performance. About a third of Americans with a four-year college degree but no postgraduate degree (35%) approve of the job Biden is doing, while about three-in-ten of those with some college experience (28%) or a high school degree or less education (28%) say the same.
Both the Republican and Democratic parties continue to be viewed more unfavorably than favorably.
About four-in-ten Americans have a favorable opinion of the Republican Party (39%) and the Democratic Party (38%). By comparison, roughly six-in-ten have an unfavorable opinion of each party (58% Republican; 60% Democratic).

Over the last decades, assessment of heart rate variability (HRV) has increased in various fields of research. HRV describes changes in heartbeat intervals, which are caused by autonomic neural regulation, i.e. by the interplay of the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems. The most frequent application of HRV is connected to cardiological issues, most importantly to the ...
Doctors consider a low heart rate to be 60 beats per minute (bpm) and below. In fact, if you have bradycardia, you'll have a low resting heart rate below 60, even when you're awake and active ...
A systematic review on this topic was conducted by Koenig et al. in 2014 . The authors identified 20 studies showing an increase in sympathetic baroreflex activity and a decrease in vagal parasympathetic activity, as reflected by changes in the frequency domain measures of HRV. ... Research Strategies. ... Heart rate variability was evaluated ...
The study, which was presented last week during the American Society for Nutrition's annual conference in Chicago, builds on earlier work from the team which showed that dietary patterns were associated with less fat accumulation surrounding heart tissue in adults with and without Type 1 diabetes. These dietary patterns also revealed lower odds ...
