V’E, minute ventilation; VT, tidal volume; TI, inspiratory time; TE, expiratory time; MPA, music performance anxiety; TA, trait anxiety; BMI, body mass index; Coeff., estimated coefficient; SE, standard error; IRR, incidence-rate ratio; CI, confidence interval. Reference categories for categorical predictors are as follows: session: practice; phase: pre-performance; gender: women; hormonal contraception: naturally cycling women; instrument group: other instrumentalists. For continuous predictors, coefficients express the change in the outcome measure per unit of the corresponding scale. Units are as follows: MPA and TA: 1 point on the corresponding scales; age: 1 year; BMI: 1 kg/m2; motion: 1 point. Statistically significant results are marked in bold. *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05.
