Notes: Analysis of variance and post hoc results are also reported. Data are collapsed across groups (n = 42);
main effect for time;
time*training interaction;
significantly different from T1;
significantly different from T2 at P < 0.025 (Bonferroni correction).
Abbreviations: SD, standard deviation; T1, baseline; T2, control; T3, following training; ηp2, partial eta squared.
