The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between heart
rate and water depth during standing submersion. Seven volunteers participated
in this study. Subjects were in a standing position, in a test
tank, for nine conditions of water depth. The water temperature was
34ºC. Heart rate significantly decreased during increase of water depth,
and significantly increased during decrease of water depth. The changes
in heart rate were statistically different (ANOVA, P
