TABLE 3.
Correlation between blood pressure response immediately following acute hot‐water immersion in week one and adaptive resting blood pressure response across the intervention in Heat participants.
| Variable | 5 min | 10 min | 20 min | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time point during recovery | ||||
| Systolic blood pressure | 0.531 | 0.561* | 0.596* | 0.673* |
| Diastolic blood pressure | 0.277 | 0.402* | 0.275 | 0.541* |
Note: Data are the Pearson correlation coefficient between adaptive blood pressure change (i.e., pre‐intervention – post‐intervention) and blood pressure measurement at each time point, or between adaptive change and average change in blood pressure measurement during recovery.
p < 0.05.
