#

SB, spontaneous breathing; HV, hyperventilation; WHBM, Wim Hof breathing method.

Mean values ± standard deviations.

–, Non available data.

Ø

Indicates that, in average, HR significantly increased with the HVs and significantly decreased with the BHs compared to resting values in WHBM condition.

¥

Indicates that values were significantly different between BH1, BH2 and BH3 in WHBM condition.

#

Indicates that values were significantly greater of resting value in HV1, HV2 and HV3 in HV condition.

Indicates that pre-sprint value was significantly greater than HV3 in HV condition.

Indicates that values were significantly different between HV1 and HV2, and between HV1 and HV3 in WHBM condition.
