  2. *Time-related differences within each group analyzed via post hoc test was completed for variables with a significant difference depending on their parameters (Tukey-Kramer or Scheffé procedures). Greenhouse-Geisser correction was applied as Mauchly’s test of sphericity was not met pairwise
  3. †Main effects (time and group) and interaction effect (time by group) analyzed via two-way repeated measures ANOVA
  4. ‡Group comparisons within each time point analyzed via post hoc test
