Table 2: Comparison of the percentage change in blood pressures and HRV measures 60 and 90 minutes after baseline measurements between normal controls and football players. Data are presented as medians (25%~75%). NS: Not Significant; HR: Heart Rate; SBP: Systolic Blood Pressure; DBP: Diastolic Blood Pressure; PP: Pulse Pressure; mRRI: Mean RR Interval; SDRR: Standard Deviation of RR Intervals; CVRR: Coeficient of Variation of RR Intervals; rMSSD: Root Mean Squared Successive Difference; TP: Total Power; VLFP: Very Low-Frequency Power; LFP: Low-Frequency Power; HFP: High- Frequency Power; nVLFP: Normalized VLFP; nLFP: Normalized LFP; nHFP: Normalized HFP; LHR: Low-/High-Frequency Power Ratio. Friedman repeated measure ANOVA on ranks with post hoc Student- Newman-Keuls test. *p<0.05 vs. %X0-60, §p<0.05 vs. %X0-90.
