Comparison of the change of four physiological indexes between control and CPO group in n-back training and n-back test sessions.

Training sessionTest session

SBP change (%)Control group (n = 11)1.23 ± 1.64−0.71 ± 1.21
CPO group (n = 11)4.55 ± 1.28−1.31 ± 1.83
value0.130.79

DBP change (%)Control group (n = 11)3.51 ± 2.84−0.60 ± 2.23
CPO group (n = 11)4.06 ± 2.46−1.12 ± 1.52
value0.880.85

HR change (%)Control group (n = 11)−3.64 ± 2.563.52 ± 2.82
CPO group (n = 11)3.54 ± 4.89−4.15 ± 2.97
value0.210.04

SpO2 change (%)Control group (n = 11)0.1 ± 0.29−0.18 ± 0.51
CPO group (n = 11)−0.36 ± 0.601.05 ± 0.47
value0.490.09

The calculation method of the changes of SBP, DBP, HR, and SpO2 is: the change (%) = (post – pre)/pre × 100%. The value represents means ± SEM. Training: n-back training session. Test: n-back and mental arithmetic tasks test session.
