The aim was to compare heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure between lying supine and when cycling at 100 W intensity and to detect any significant differences. The group of subjects comprised 10 first year Sports Science male (n = 7) and female (n = 3) students. Measurements of subjects heart rate and blood pressure were recorded when lying supine and in th...
