Table 3 Means and standard deviations for interoceptive accuracy (IAcc) and interoceptive confidence scores at baseline and across all four conditions, with participants split by sporting background (students majoring in sport vs non-sport focussed courses).

From: Acute physical-activity related increases in interoceptive ability are not enhanced with simultaneous interoceptive attention
