Chapter 5 124 SBP and MAP significantly decreased over time during recovery (p < 0.01), while DBP did not change (p=0.11) ( Figure 2, Table 3 ). The mean PEH response for SBP, DBP and MAP in normoxia were -2.6±8.5, -2.5±5.0 and -2.6±4.9 mmHg respectively, and in hypoxia -6.2±8.4, -1.9±5.4 and -3.4±5.4 respectively. SBP, DBP and MAP did not differ between conditions at any time point (all p > 0.05) ( Figure 2, Table 3 ). For all BP responses, there were no significant interactions between condition and time (all p > 0.05). Similar findings were observed when post-exercise BP responses were presented as relative changes (data not shown).
