Figure 2, left. Orthostatic tolerance time (min, mean ± SE) assessed by tilt/LBNP tests pre and post HDBR in CON and EX groups. There was no significant difference between groups pre HDBR, respectively 17.5±1 min in CON and 19.3 ± 1.3 min in EX (p=0.30). Orthostatic tolerance time significantly decreased post HDBR in EX and CON groups, respectively 13.0 ± 1.9 min and 9.1±1.5 min (*: p<0.001).
Figure 2, right. Blood volume assessed by CO rebreathing method pre and post HDBR in CON and EX groups. BV decreased significantly in CON (−9±2%, p<0.01), with a non significant decrease in EX (−4±3%, p=0.17).
