Summary heart rate (BPM) measures resulting from five upper body power tests
| Group | Test Period |
Constant Power Test |
UBP10 Test Trial #1 |
UBP10 Test Trial #2 |
UBP10 Test Trial #3 |
UBP60 Test |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Placebo (n = 12) |
Pre-Test | 161 ± 4 | 156 ± 2 | 167 ± 2 | 169 ± 2 | 182 ± 2 |
| Post-Test | 160 ± 4 | 157 ± 3 | 167 ± 3 | 169 ± 3 | 183 ± 2 | |
| Treatment (n = 12) |
Pre-Test | 164 ± 6 | 158 ± 5 | 165 ± 4 | 166 ± 4 | 184 ± 4 |
| Post-Test | †159 ± 6 | 160 ± 6 | 169 ± 6 | 167 ± 4 | †177 ± 3 | |
NOTE: All values expressed as Mean ± SE; UBP10 = 10-sec upper body power test; UBP60 = 60-sec upper body power test
†Post-test measure of heart rate for Constant-Power and UBP60 tests were significantly lower than pre-test measure within the treatment group (P < 0.05)
