HRrest, heart rate at rest; HRexercise, heart rate during exercise for the last 3 minutes; T, time constant of exponentially fitted 5 minute heart rate recovery; HR, stabilized heart rate following exercise. Values are presented for athletes and non-athletes for inactive recovery in the upright seated position (SeatInact), active recovery in the upright seated position (SeatAct), supine position (Sup), and supine position with elevated legs (SupElev) as means (± SD).* p< 0.05, athletes vs. non-athletes;† p < 0.01, vs. seated inactive;§ p <0.01, vs. seated active.
