Table 1. Mean and Standard Deviation (SD) of Subjects’ Characteristics (Age, Height, Weight, and Baseline Values of all Outcome Measures) For Both Groups a.
Characteristics | Control Group b | Sauna Group b |
---|---|---|
Age, y | 21.07 ± 1.59 | 20.64 ± 1.69 |
Height, cm | 173.14 ± 5.14 | 170.07 ± 4.76 |
Weight, kg | 61.29 ± 9.55 | 61.93 ± 9.03 |
Pressure pain threshold, kPa | 300.17 ± 112.00 | 476.52 ± 111.06 |
Range of motion [passive flexion] (degrees) | 98.86 ± 6.74 | 92.57 ± 12.65 |
Range of motion [passive extension] (degrees) | 98.17 ± 8.69 | 111.26 ± 12.36 |
Grip strength-Pain free (N) | 300.96 ± 50.06 | 303.39 ± 78.25 |
Wrist extension strength-Pain free (N) | 96.29 ± 26.18 | 75.82 ± 17.36 |
a There were homogenous of all subjects’ characteristics for both groups (P > 0.05), excepted in pressure pain threshold, passive extension, and wrist extension strength. Therefore, normalized data was used for further analysis.
