According to the results of Shapiro-Wilk normality test, the (EA,RH)-set with p = 0.029 and (YA,LH)-set with p = 0.034 did not come from the normally distributed population. Therefore, along with the unpaired t-test (t) we used non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test (U) and Wilcoxon signed-rank test (W) to the provide the post hoc comparisons.
