---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Score | Change from baseline | P value | Change from baseline | P value | Change from LT4 to LT3 | P value | |
Physical fatigue | 12.2 ± 3.9 | -0.5 ± 4.7 | 0.438 | -4.0 ± 6.2 | <0.001 | -3.2 ± 6.1 | 0.001 |
Mental fatigue | 6.6 ± 2.4 | -0.4 ± 2.4 | 0.203 | -1.8 ± 2.9 | <0.001 | -1.2 ± 2.7 | 0.004 |
Total fatigue | 18.9 ± 5.8 | -1 ± 6.6 | 0.303 | -5.8 ± 8.7 | <0.001 | -4.4 ± 8.3 | 0.001 |
Data are presented as mean ± SD. Combining the scores of physical and mental fatigues produce total fatigue, with a maximum score of 33. Higher scores imply higher levels of fatigue.
