Results are expressed as frequencies and percentages. Periods were compared within (2019: g for P2 vs. P1, h for P2 vs. P3 and i for P1 vs. P3; 2020: c for P5 vs. P4, d for P6 vs. P4, e for P5 vs. P6) and between years (a for P5 vs. P2, b for P6 vs. P3). Significant comparisons after Benjamini & Hochberg correction (False Discovery Rate) were reported († p < 0.05, ‡ p < 0.01).
