Mean reactivity scores by cycle phase. Note. Mean changes in physiological and psychological stress reactivity were calculated by subtracting the average baseline value from the maximum stressor value. HR = heart rate and values are reported in beats per minute; SBP = systolic blood pressure and values are reported in mm Hg; DBP = diastolic blood pressure is reported in mm Hg; state = state anxiety which serves as a measure of psychological stress and values reflect Likert scale ratings. Follicular = follicular cycle testing and luteal = luteal cycle testing. Y-axis values vary according to the variable depicted. Significant t-test results are indicated by *p<.05.
