  1. Results are presented as means ± standard deviation. Effect sizes (d-Cohen) for pairwise comparisons between time points are included. Significant differences are denoted as follows: bsignificant difference compared to T-0; esignificant difference compared to T-1; fsignificant difference compared to T-2. The significance level was set at p < 0.05.
