Note. Patients in INV group received exercise interaction; those in AC group received an attention-control intervention. Means and SDs are calculated using only cases having data on given subscale for all three time points.

a

The Friedman test compared scores at the three times within each group.

b

Change scores were calculated for pairwise combinations of times and compared between groups using the Mann-Whitney U tests. All available cases were used in calculations of difference scores.
