Fig. 1. Proportions of various EEG types in the samples of subjects [1]. CG — control group, CETG1 — experimental group 1 undergoing cold exposure training, CETG2 — experimental group 2 undergoing cold exposure training
Fig. 2. Total spectral power (µV2) in the theta range (4–8 Hz) in 16 major leads. The box margins correspond to quartiles Q25% and Q75%. Lines inside the boxes —
medians, crosses in the box — average values, upper and lower deviations — maximum and minimum values. * — significance of differences from the control group (р < 0.05) based on the Mann–Whitney U test. CG — control group, CETG1 — experimental group 1 undergoing cold exposure training, CETG2 — experimental group 2 undergoing cold exposure training
Fig. 3. Total spectral power (µV2) in the alpha range (8–14 Hz) in 16 major leads. The box margins correspond to quartiles Q25% and Q75%. Lines inside the boxes — medians, crosses in the box — average values, upper and lower deviations — maximum and minimum values. * — significance of differences from the control group (р < 0.05) based on the Mann–Whitney U test. CG — control group, CETG1 — experimental group 1 undergoing cold exposure training, CETG2 — experimental group 2 undergoing cold exposure training

Note: * — significance of differences from the control group (р < 0.05) based on the Mann–Whitney U test. CG — control group, CETG1 — experimental group 1 undergoing cold exposure training, CETG2 — experimental group 2 undergoing cold exposure training.
Table 2. Integrated EEG indices (alpha/theta) averaged over all leads. Median (quartiles Q25%; Q75%)
Note: р — significance of differences from the control group based on the Mann–Whitney U test. CG — control group, CETG1 — experimental group 1 undergoing cold exposure training, CETG2 — experimental group 2 undergoing cold exposure training.
