I see. I think the picture above explains it very well. When you open the slave channel it will start to search for a master channel, when found it will lock into the master and the power consumption will go down. The only way to reduce it is to not open the channel, but then of course not master will be found. You can use a timer and reduce the duty cycle of the search, but then it will potentially longer until a master is found. You can also consider using some kind of external trigger to start the search. I'm not sure if that is suitable for your application.

The connection is ANT and slave. What do you mean by parameters?

It is a bit unclear what you are doing. I get that you are using BLE and ANT, but what connection are you referring to? BLE or ANT? If BLE, are you peripheral or central? What advertising interval, scan interval and scan window are you using? If ANT, are you are master or slave? What parameters are you using?
