Values are expressed as mean (± s.d.).

^*P ≤ 0.005 vs group 3 (95% confidence interval for the means 1.02, 5.18 watts).

^**P ≤ 0.002 vs group 3 (95% confidence interval for the mean 1.69, 6.28 watts).

^#= P ≤ 0.001 vs group 3 (95% confidence interval for the mean 2.3, 7.8 watts).

^##= P ≤ 0.004 vs group 3 (95% confidence interval for the mean 1.5, 6.9 watts).
