Participants were suspended for a maximum of 45\u2005min. Onset of 2 or more symptoms of SS, such as vertigo, lightheadedness, or nausea, halted suspension immediately. We recorded each participant's heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, lower leg oxygen saturation, pain rating, and presyncope scores presuspension, midsuspension, and postsuspension, as well as total time suspended.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were 24 participants.

There was a significant difference in heart rate between groups overall ( p=0.012), and between groups, specifically at the midsuspension time interval (80\u00b111\u2005bpm vs 100\u00b117\u2005bpm, p=0.003).
