Changes in POMS scores, autonomic function indices, and blood biomarkers following a sitting isometric yoga session

n: Sample size

Values are mean ± standard deviation

Pre: Mean values before yoga sessions

Post: Mean values after yoga sessions

∆: The mean difference between Pre and Post values, i.e. Post value – Pre value

P value: Paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test between Pre and Post values

95% CI: 95% Confidence interval (Lower bound – Upper bound)

C: Correlations

*: Correlation between ∆ F and ∆ plasma/serum components, P < 0.05

#: Correlation between ∆ V and ∆ plasma/serum components, P < 0.05

n.s.: not significant

Highlighted in gray: The probability of normal distribution is violated by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test
