Hemodynamic response and rating of perceived exertion at baseline, during, and after LL-RE and HL-RE.

Data are expressed as mean (SD) or as median (Q1, Q3). η2: partial eta squared; HR: heart rate; oxi.: pulse oximeter; Sa: blood oxygen saturation; RPE: rating of perceived exertion; 1-RM: one-repetition maximum. a Significantly different compared with baseline; b significantly different compared with post-exercise; c significantly different compared with first set; d significantly different compared with second set.
