Table 2.

Parameter of the Bioenergetic Health Index (BHI). The distinct parameter were taken before (v), after the first 10-pass OHT (n) and after the second 10-pass OHT one week later (nn). The data represent cumulative data from the respective subjects and are expressed as means + s.e.m and as median. The statistics include the t-test and the Cohen`t d test
