	WBC	CON	p
$\stackrel{.}{\mathrm{V}}$O2 (mL/min)	349 ± 42	362 ± 48	0.196
$\stackrel{.}{\mathrm{V}}$CO2 (mL/min)	201 ± 55	240 ± 55 †	0.007
$\stackrel{.}{\mathrm{V}}$E (L/min)	11.3 ± 3.4	14.0 ± 4.2 †	0.016
HR beats per minute (bpm)	95 ± 11	101 ± 8 †	0.042

Values are means ± SD (n = 12). †: p < 0.05 vs. WBC. $\stackrel{.}{\mathrm{V}}$O₂: oxygen uptake; $\stackrel{.}{\mathrm{V}}$CO₂: carbon dioxide output; $\stackrel{.}{\mathrm{V}}$E: minute ventilation; HR: heart rate. WBC: whole body cryotherapy; CON: rest period.
