| Variables | Pretest Mean ± SD |
Posttest Mean ± SD |
p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heart rate (bpm) | 79.7 ± 10.2 | 86.6 ± 9.7 | 0.001* |
| SPO2 (%) | 96.1 ± 3.0 | 96.6 ± 3.0 | 0.348 |

| Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) | 71.3 ± 12.2 | 75.6 ± 14.2 | 0.245 |
| Double product (mmHg.bpm) | 9,322 ± 1,115.1 | 11,095 ± 2,804.2 | 0.114 |
| Borg (PES) | 0.52 ± 0.7 | 1.48 ± 1.4 | 0.914 |

SD - standard deviation; SpO2 - peripheral oxygen saturation; Borg (PES) - perceived exertion score. T-test for paired samples (p < 0.005).
