Table 3.
Summary of mean blood pressure values, at baseline and week 2 for both subject groups. Values are means (± Standard Deviation).

| Post SBP (mmHg) | 136.3 (4.3) | 135.6 (15.3) | 139.1 (4.5) | 122.6 (9.9) *† |
| Rec SBP (mmHg) | 117.5 (8.5) | 118.1 (16.2) | 121.6 (6.1) | 110.4 (9.2) † |
| RHR (bpm) | 74 (12) | 76 (15) | 68 (12) | 69 (12) |

* indicates significance at week 2 compared to baseline (p < 0.05).
† indicates signifincance between control and experimental groups at week 2 (p < 0.05). RSBP - Resting systolic blood pressure. PostSBP - Post exercise systolic blood pressure. RecSBP - Systolic blood pressure after 5 minutes recovery. RHR - Resting heart rate. HR15 - Heart rate at 15 minutes cycling. HR30 - Heart rate at 30 minutes cycling. HR30 - Heart rate at 30 minutes cycling. RecHR - Heart rate after 5 minutes recovery
