Blood pressure variability and baroreceptor sensitivity in normotensive obese in response to aerobic exercise

Background: Autonomic dysfunction, with increased sympathetic activity at rest has been reported in obese individuals. Indices of blood pressure variability (BPV) and baroreceptor sensitivity (BRS) can provide insight into aspects of autonomic function, particularly following an aerobic exercise bout.
