Physiological Indices | Pre-Test | Post-Test | p | t | Effect Size |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg) | 136.6 ± 4.0 | 138.0 ± 2.8 | 0.771 | 0.292 | 0.08 |
Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) | 80.5 ± 2.1 | 81.7 ± 1.9 | 0.676 | 0.421 | 0.12 |
Pulse rate (bpm) | 75.7 ± 2.2 | 72.0 ± 2.2 | 0.234 | −1.206 | 0.35 |
Salivary amylase activity (KU/L) | 32.1 ± 6.5 | 17.3 ± 3.6 | 0.053 | −1.985 | 0.57 |
Data are expressed as the mean± standard error. t: The t-test statistic for a paired sample t-test; p: The p-value (probability value) for the t-test statistic. The effect size is reported by Cohen’s d.
