Endpoint heart rate, mean bpm | 130.6 (10.2) | 76.25 (16.3) | 136.0 (11.3) | 87.25 (18.4) |
Bpm, beats per minute.
Values in parentheses are standard deviations.
For the physiological data (heart rate), a 2 (sex) x 2 (exercise vs. control) x 2 (rest vs. endpoint) repeated measures ANOVA was computed.
