Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. p1: analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures for each group separately. p2: analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures of two factors to verify the existence of an interaction effect (Condition × Time). Significant differences were considered for p < 0.05. Significant differences during the study period, calculated using the Scheffé test. IG: intervention group; CG: control group; T1: baseline; T2: day 21; T3: day 42.
