Values in parentheses are standard deviations
Trials 1-6 are the free-recall assessments of List A.
Trial 7 is the free-recall delayed assessment of List A, which occurred 20-minutes after Trial 6.
For the memory data, 2 (sex) x 2 (exercise vs. control) x 7 (trials) repeated measures ANOVA was computed.
