I  wouldn't suggest doing linear regression on a single individual using  just
pre- and post.  If you would do it this way, why not use all of  the data
points, not just pre- and post-?  That would make more sense  to me.


The reason for this was that in the pre-condition HRV was only monitored (5
predictor HRV measures), in the second post condition the player engaged in an
 intervention that manipulated HRV while being monitored. In both cases I
wanted  to find correlations between predictors and outcome measures and variance
 explained through multiple regression and then compare differences (i.e.,
was  more of the variance explained in outcome on the basis of HRV post compared
to  pre-no intervention).

Esentially, you are saying even if one has hundreds of measures obtained
through hundreds of measurement occasions that are hypothesized to predict and
correspond to specific outcome measures (each HRV data point corresponds to an
outcome [HRV-low frequency and say, batting result]) one should/cannot
validly  use multiple regression to determine variance explained?

Thanks again!
