Figure 2 Percent increase in heart rate with televised vs live games. The box plots quantify the increases in heart rate in subjects who viewed televised vs live Montreal Canadiens hockey games. Lower and upper edges of the box indicate lower and upper quartiles. The line in the box represents the median value. Lower and upper bars indicate 10th and 90th percentiles.

Figure 3 Percent increase in heart rate according to a fan passion score. The boxplots represent increases in heart rate according to fan passion scores categorized by tertile. Lower and upper edges of the box indicate lower and upper quartiles. The line in the box represents the median value. Lower and upper bars indicate 10th and 90th percentiles.

Figure 4 The pie chart portrays elements of the hockey game associated with peak heart rates. Of note, scoring opportunities for and against refer to regulation time with 2 teams at even strength. Powerplays, short-handed situations, and overtime periods were classified separately. In all participants, the peak heart rate occurred during the overtime period if the game extended beyond regulation time.
