† = Significant difference in comparison to delta FSE - CON (p < 0.05). Delta BJE = means the values of blood pressure of the BJE session – the values of blood pressure of the control session; Delta FSE = means the values of blood pressure of the FSE session – the values of blood pressure of the control session.Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation.* = Significant difference in comparison to CON and FSE sessions (p ≤ 0.05).
