*p<0.05 compared with baseline; § means p<0.01 compared with baseline. The present form is (mean ± standard deviation). VLF denotes very low frequency band (0.01-0.04Hz); LF denotes low frequency band (0.04-0.15Hz); HF denotes high frequency band (0.15-0.4Hz); IMF denotes intrinsic mode function; HUT denotes head-up tilt; 6-cycle denotes paced respiration with 6 cycles per minute; 30-cycle denotes paced respiration with 30 cycles per minute.
