Breathing Condition	MSNA		HRV
Breathing Condition	Burst Incidence, burts/100 heartbeats	Total Activity, arbitrary units	LF, ms²	HF, ms²	HF, nu	LF/HF
SB baseline	26.5 (13.5)	27.9 (21.2)	4,194 (5,057)	1,919 (1,284)	40.8 (19.0)	2.7 (3.6)
SB cold pressor test	32.2 (15.6)^*	38.7 (24.4)^*	2,524 (2,825)	2,525 (2,596)	47.3 (27.9)	2.4 (3.2)
CB baseline	28.9 (13.9)	31.4 (16.8)^†	1,023 (726.6)^*	2,687 (2,080)	62.4 (20.3)	0.8 (1.2)
CB cold pressor test	36.6 (18.4)^†^‡	40.7 (20.9)^‡	607.3 (332.6)^†	2,305 (2,000)	62.6 (29.5)^†	2.3 (6.0)

Values are means (SD); n = 11.

P < 0.05, significantly different from SB baseline.

^†

P < 0.05, significantly different from SB cold pressor test.

^‡

P < 0.05, significantly different from CB baseline.
