Figures & data
Figure 1. Timing of outcome measurement. During each intervention, sCOR concentrations and HRV data were collected in clinic at three timepoints, baseline or five-minutes prior to the intervention (pre-5), then five-minutes (post-5) and thirty-minutes (post-30) following the intervention. Baseline sCOR samples were collected at home on day five and six between the hours of 2200–0000 (baseline-pm). sCOR samples were then collected the night following the intervention between the hours of 2200–0000 (post-pm). HRV data was collected each morning on waking, at home, between the hours of 0600–0800. Day two to seven were baseline HRV data (baseline-am). Day eight was post-intervention HRV data (post-am). RPQ data was filled out at the same time as sCOR samples were collected on day six (baseline-pm) and seven (post-pm), and HRV data on day seven (baseline-am) and eight (post-am).
