Table 2.
High frequency (HF) band of HRV.
| Conditions | Mean (SD) of HF in ms2 | p-value of post-hoc comparison (* denotes significant) |
|---|---|---|
| Religious chanting | 0.00182 (0.00130) | compared to no chanting*, p = 0.014 |
| No chanting | 0.00432 (0.00421) | compared to non-religious chanting, p = 0.435 |
| Non-religious chanting | 0.00323(0.00316) | compared to religious chanting, p = 0.152 |
The table shows descriptive statistics and significance values for within-group comparisons, for the high frequency power of the heart rate variability derived from the ECG data. Repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant effect across conditions, F(2,42) = 5.90, p = 0.006.
