Note: VT = tidal volume; RSA = respiratory sinus arrhythmia; TTOT = total respiratory cycle time; HR = heart rate; RSA/VT = RSA normalized by VT; c = adjusted for total respiratory cycle time; logRSA = logarithm(RSA+1); logRSA/VT = logarithm(RSA/VT)+1.

p-level of both tests Bonferroni-adjusted for all indices.
