Flowchart of the experiment. Experimental protocol with sequence of assessments and chewing tasks for each candy and chewing gum (S1-1, S2-1, H1-1, H2-1, T1, S1-2, S2-2, H1-2, H2-2, T2). The candies are named after the type of candy with the first letter (S = soft, H = hard), type of chewing task with the first number (1 = standardized chewing, 2 = natural chewing) and which round with the second number (1 = round one, 2 = round two). The two coloured chewing gums are named T1 for round one and T2 for round two. Pain intensity and self-reported fatigue were assessed at baseline and after every task.
