Impact of level of physical activity on cortisol awakening response in morbidly obese women

Physical activity increases cortisol-awakening response (CAR) and reduces perceived stress in several pathologies but its impact in morbidly obese subjects, especially women, remains poorly known. According to their level of physical activity ( 1000 METmin/week), 37 middle-age (41.4±1.7 years) morbi...

Description
Summary:Physical activity increases cortisol-awakening response (CAR) and reduces perceived stress in several pathologies but its impact in morbidly obese subjects, especially women, remains poorly known. According to their level of physical activity ( 1000 METmin/week), 37 middle-age (41.4±1.7 years) morbidly obese women (BMI: 46.2±0.7kg/m2) were divided into group 1 (n=21) and group 2 (n=16). Saliva samples were taken for cortisol analysis at awakening (coraw) and 30min after (cor30aw), with (CAR) determination. In parallel, body weight and composition were determined by bioelectrical impedance, whereas quality of life, stress and depression were estimated by specific questionnaires. In group 2 (>1000MET-min/week) vs. group 1 (
