Female | 5.93 | (1.83) | 5.16 | (1.58) | −1.801 | 0.074 | |
Allsubjects | 5.71 | (1.99) | 5.24 | (2.22) | −2.436 | 0.014 | |
Fatigue | Male | 6.16 | (1.70) | 5.23 | (2.03) | −2.746 | 0.004 |

Allsubjects | 3.32 | (2.37) | 2.23 | (2.11) | −3.441 | <0.001 | |
Arousal | Male | 2.53 | (1.96) | 1.76 | (2.01) | −2.842 | 0.003 |

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.
