Resumo:Interoception is the ability of the individual to perceive bodily changes important in the processing performance of various aspects related to health and daily life. Many works on the level of ability to perceive one's own bodily signals are made in adults, but few in children. Interoception can be analyzed through the heart rate variability indexes (HRV), a noninvasive measure that provides the assessment of autonomic control, which is related to interoception. The aim of this study is to compare the HRV of children with different levels of interoceptive accuracy; to verify if HRV exerts a mediating function in the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and interoceptive accuracy; and to test the correlations between HRV and interoception. Participants were 32 children with an average age of 10 years, from the State school in the Municipality of Parnamirim-RN. Cardiac sensitivity tests were performed through the evaluation of HRV and the task of heart rate perception, anthropometric measures, body composition and physical fitness. HRV did not differ significantly between the groups of high and low accuracy and did not present mediating action between physical aptitude and interoceptive accuracy. However, significant negative correlations were found between HRV indices and interoception. We conclude that there is an important relationship between autonomic parasympathetic control and interoception in children. However, it seems that physical fitness has no influence on this relationship. Future studies will need to delve into this discussion in order to understand if in fact the physical activity intimately carried out in the school can contribute to the healthy development of the autonomic and perceptual control of the corporal signals.
