Correlations of heart rate variability and body fat percentage.

Heart rate variability measurements Uncontrolled breathing Paced breathing at 0.2 Hz
Total power (nu) −0.54* − 0.54*
Low frequency power (nu) −0.53* −0.23
High frequency power (nu) 0.48* 0.23
Low frequency/high frequency ratio − 0.56* −0.34

Values in Pearson's correlation coefficient, nu = normalized units, n=16.
