Table 2.
Cardiorespiratory measurements before and after 8 weeks of high-intensity functional training.
| Variable | Pre-HIFT | Post-HIFT | p-Value | Δ | Effect Size d |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HRrest (bpm) | 73 ± 12 | 68 ± 11 * | 0.006 | −6.8% | 0.40 |
| SBPrest (mmHg) | 112 ± 13 | 108 ± 12 | 0.133 | −3.6% | 0.31 |
| DBPrest (mmHg) | 71 ± 7 | 65 ± 6 * | 0.013 | −8.5% | 0.87 |
| VO2max (L/min) | 2.53 ± 0.68 | 2.69 ± 0.66 * | 0.003 | +6.3% | −0.23 |
| VO2max (mL/kg/min) | 32.51 ± 8.84 | 34.31 ± 8.63 * | 0.003 | +5.5% | −0.21 |
Note. All values are presented as means ± standard deviation; HR = heart rate; SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; VO2max = maximum oxygen consumption; Δ = ([posttest score − pretest score]/pretest score) × 100; d = (pretest score − posttest score)/pooled standard deviation; * = significantly different from pretest score (p < 0.05).
