Legend: +Within-baseline effect, differences during normal academic program in both experimental conditions, calculated by adding delta changes at baseline in experimental condition B (T1–T0 for experimental condition B) and in follow-up in experimental condition A (T2–T1 for experimental condition A); ® Training Effect, differences during e-Rob training in both experimental conditions, calculated by adding delta changes for time points T1 and T0 for experimental condition A and delta changes for time points T2 and T1 for experimental condition B; * statistical significant differences (p < 0.05).
