Abstract

Anaerobic threshold (AT) can be determined by heart rate variability (HRVT) and by heart rate inflection point (HRIP), which is associated with lactate and ventilatory thresholds. Thus, this study aimed to compare the HRVT and HRIP in normal weight (NW: 22.18 ± 1.90 kg m−2), overweight (Ov: 27.12 ± 1.39), and obese (O: 32.85 ± 2.40) young people (21.62 ± 2.09 years old; n: 61). AT was determined by: (1) HRVT using two criteria: HRVT1: first workload with SD1 index <3 ms; HRVT2: first workload with a difference <1 ms in the SD1 index between two consecutive stages; and (2) HRIP: identified on the maximum distance between a polynomial adjustment and the linear values of HR. The HRIP was identified at similar workloads (NW: 89.35 ± 32.45; Ov: 83.57 ± 24.45; O: 105.71 ± 29.80 W) and heart rate (NW: 130.78 ± 15.32; Ov: 126.29 ± 11.71; 136.24 ± 13.43 bpm). No significant differences (p > 0.05) between criteria, methods or groups, and a significant (p < 0.05) correlation (r 0.28–0.63) were observed for all variables between HRVT1 and HVRT2; for workload between HRVT1 with HRIP (r 0.28); and to rate perceived exertion between HRVT1 (r 0.28) and HVRT2 (r 0.48) with HRIP, with a good agreement for HR between all the methods used for AT identification. In summary, obesity does not seem to interfere on the identification of AT, and HRIP can be used as a reliable method for untrained young people with a wide BMI range.
