Table 2.

Average scores for pre- and post-fatigue SF-MPQ and PCS, as well as significant levels. P values represent the test between pre- and post-fatigue conditions for the entire group. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (*statistically significant at p < 0.05; **statistically significant at p < 0.01)
