Brief summary

To study the cardiac autonomic control of obese children immeadiately after they perform a submaximal aerobic exercise

Interventions

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
