Differences with statistical significance are marked with superscripts beside the P values (‘#’ for 1-way-ANOVA intragroup tests, ‘Δ’ for 2-way ANCOVA tests on the group and session effects with the pre-assessment as the covariate). Significant levels are indicated as, 1 superscript for < 0.05, 2 superscripts for ≤0.01, and 3 superscripts for ≤0.001
