TL;DR: After the exercise test, women with chronic stroke presented reduced heart rate variability, reduced cardiac vagal modulation, as well as reduced HRR, while displayed an improvement ofheart rate variability and cardiacvagal modulation when compared to their baseline.

TL;DR: The data demonstrated increased resting cardiac sympathetic modulation in offspring of hypertensive parents at similar levels to that observed after a mental stress test or a maximal isometric exercise test, thus reinforcing these evaluations as important tools for detecting early dysfunctions in this genetically predisposed population.

TL;DR: In this article, reference values were established for the 6MWT in healthy children aged 7-12 y in Brazil, and an equation was developed to predict the 6-min walk distance for healthy children in Brazil.

TL;DR: Exercise training is a promising tool for the management of post-stroke patients, both in terms of improved cardiovascular and functional capacity and further studies are needed to widen the scope of therapeutic management of this population.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that strength-trained offspring of hypertensives did not present impaired HRV, thus reinforcing the benefits of an active lifestyle in the prevention of early dysfunctions associated with the onset of hypertension in predisposed populations.
