The metabolic syndrome considers a group of disorders that increase the risk of Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases. In this sense, prevention and treatment have focused on physical activity as an effective method to restore heart rate variability and decrease health risks. The objective of this review was to describe the behavior of heart rate variability in relation to the practice of physical activity in patients with metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndrome has been associated with sympathetic predominance and parasympathetic withdrawal that presents a risk of Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases that can be restored with regular practice of physical activity. Physical activity can restore the heart rate variability related to the metabolic syndrome, however, other studies are required to try to explain all the conditions to which the autonomic balance responds.
