Data are expressed as mean (SD), estimated mean of differences (confidence interval of 95%), and level of significance (𝑃) between PRE versus POST6 (within-group comparisons; mixed model for repeated measures). Equal superscripted letters represent equal means and different superscripted letters represent statistically different means (𝑃<0.05, between- or within-group comparisons).
