Clinical Trial: Heart Rate Sensing and Response in Persons With Anorexia Nervosa

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Heart Rate Sensing and Response in Persons With Anorexia Nervosa

Brief Summary: There are two major goals of this investigation. First, to develop pilot data to justify a larger randomized clinical trial of an intervention designed to train interoceptive signals (IS) and interoceptive responsivity (IR) in persons with Anorexia Nervosa (AN). Second, the investigators will determine whether persons with AN have similar or different IS and IR for heart rate while exercising as compared to age and gender matched controls.

Detailed Summary: The purpose of this pilot investigation is to assess AN interoceptive sensitivity and responsivity as it pertains to heart rate during exercise. Thirty adults, 18 years and older will be recruited for a cross-sectional comparison of IS and IR in the context of exercise.

Current Primary Outcome: Mean percentage of time in prescribed heart rate range during four bouts of interval exercise training [ Time Frame: Baseline only ]

One exercise training session
