only marginally significantp < 0.100
Results revealed only marginally significant ( p < 0.100) positive correlations between the differences in RMSSD, SDNN and PainLoad , i.e., higher pain thresholds in the HLC compared to the LLC were associated with a higher RMSSD [ r s = 0.189, p = 0.083, 95%CI(−0.025 0.377)] and SDNN [ r s = 0.187, p = 0.086, 95%CI(−0.018 0.393)] in the HLC relative to the LLC.
