* Asterisks indicate significant differences between some groups. RC = respiratory control, BI = body image, MD = motor dissociation, visual-motor coordination (VC), SO = spatial orientation, SUM = total score on the physical-motor factor, H = Kruskal-Wallis H test. Me = median, G1 = skewness, and G2 = kurtosis.
