Note: HRMAX: maximum heart rate; HRR: resting heart rate; HRPRTR: Heart rate after reaction time before Stroop test; HRPOTR: Heart rate after reaction time after Stroop test; T0: at the initial trial; T1: at the end of the reaction test; T2: after 200 questions from the Stroop test; T3: after 400 questions from the Stroop test; T4: at the end of the Stroop test; T5: at the end of the reaction test; T6: at rest, after 1’; T7: at rest, after 3’; T8: at rest, after 5’; RTPR: reaction time before the Stroop test; RTPO: reaction time after Stroop test. *: represent significant difference compared with T0 (p < 0.05). †: represent significant difference compared with T1 (p < 0.05). §: represent significant difference on reaction time (RT) between pre (RTPR) and post (RTPR) Stroop test (p < 0.05).
