Reactivity was calculated as the change from baseline to during the task.

Recovery A was calculated as the change from during the task to the end of the rest period (minutes 6–12); Recovery B was calculated as the change from during the task to immediately after the task (first 3 minutes of the rest period); Recovery C was calculated as the change from immediately after the task to the end of the rest period.

P value for group difference in reactivity or recovery.

Note. SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; HR = heart rate; RMSSD = root mean square of successes differences; PEP = pre-ejection period; SE = standard error. Analyses control for baseline group differences.
