Statistically significant (p < 0.05); control group n = 27, intervention group n = 26.
Parameters are shown as mean ± SD or Median. To calculate the p-value a t-test was used for parametric continuous variables and a Mann–Whitney-U test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for non-parametric continuous variables.
BL, baseline; ST, short term; LT, long term.
