Mean Heart Rate (HR), Systolic Arterial Pressure (SAP), Diastolic Arterial Pressure (DAP) and Capillary Oxyhemoglobin Saturation (SpO2) Obtained During the 5-Min Baseline (B), the 5-Min Warm-Water Immersion (WWI), the 30-Min Cold-Water Hand Immersion (CWI) and the 15-Min Rewarming (RW) Phases in the Control (AIR) and Normobaric Hypoxic (HYPO) Test
| AIR test | HYPO test | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B | WWI | CWI | RW | B | WWI | CWI | RW | |
| HR (beats·min−1) | 79±12 | 80±13 | 76±14 | 72±14 | 83±13* | 87±12* | 83±14* | 78±14* |
| SAP (mmHg) | 121±9 | 120±12 | 128±10 | 123±10 | 120±10 | 124±13 | 129±9 | 123±13 |
| DAP (mmHg) | 73±14 | 74±11 | 86±8 | 82±7 | 75±14 | 77±13 | 84±8 | 80±11 |
| Spo2 (%) | 97±1 | 97±1 | 97±1 | 97±1 | 92±2* | 90±2* | 89±2* | 89±3* |
Values are mean±SD; SAP and DAP during CWI were significantly different from B, WWI and RW values (p≤0.001); *Significant difference from the AIR test; (p≤0.05).
