meanRRi, mean R-R interval; meanSD1; standard deviation of R-R intervals; rMSSD, root-mean-square difference of successive normal R-R intervals. All non-normally distributed data were analyzed with the non-parametric repeated measures comparison (Friedman test). Effect size: r = Pearson correlation coefficient (r = 0.1, small effect; r = 0.3, medium effect; and r = 0.5, large effect). ∗Significance level was established at p < 0.05.
