Data is given as median (25th–75th). p-values indicates differences between and within groups calculated by Friedmans Anova and Wilcoxon signed rank test. N = 14.
*P-values calculated with Wilcoxon signed rank test within groups. #P-values calculated with Friedmans Anova between groups. asignificant different from baseline as calculated with Wilcoxon signed rank test (p < 0.05).
