The mean VAS score ± standard deviation (SD) is shown for attention (0 = no attention; 10 = maximal attention), fatigue (0 = no fatigue; 10 = maximal fatigue) and arousal (0 = no arousal; 10 = maximal arousal). Measurements were obtained prior (PRE) and after (POST) the experiment. Data is shown for all subjects and for males and females separately. P-values in bold highlight a significant effect between PRE and POST measurement.
