Total number of participants is not similar for each factor as complete data are not available for all participants.
1Data are mean (95% confidence interval).
2Welch ANOVA was used to test significance between the groups. Statistically significant difference between the subgroups ( < 0.05) ( < 0.01) ( < 0.001). Games-Howell post hoc tests for main effects. Superscript letters (a and b) indicate pairs of means that differ significantly from one another ( < 0.05).
