a
Indicates significance compared with control (control vs. standard, control vs. standard28, control vs. alternative, or control vs. alternative28).
b
Indicates significance within bras (standard vs. standard28, alternative vs. alternative28).
c
Indicates significance between intervention bras (standard vs. alternative, standard28 vs. alternative28).
