Prolonged seated control condition
Before the prolonged seated control condition, the Polar heart rate monitor and BP cuff were applied to the subjects while the session instructions were explained to them. Then, subjects were instructed to sit quietly for 5 minutes, in a chair, in an upright position, with their feet planted directly on the floor. Following this 5-minute rest, subjects had their resting BP, HR, and a 6-minute HRV measurement taken. Similar to the yoga condition, the BP cuff was removed following these measurements and prior to the seated documentary viewing period. The Polar heart rate monitor remained on the subjects to record HR during the documentary viewing, in the last 10 seconds of every minute, to keep consistency between the conditions.During the control condition, subjects moved from the measurement chair to be seated in a supportive chair within the same room. This chair is where they watched episodes of a nature documentary,
