  • Level of significance: (t)p<0.10,*p<0.05,**p<0.01, ***p<0.001. ANOVA results are based on the Greenhouse-Geisser correction. Post hoc method with Bonferroni correction for pairwise comparison.

  • *Prior the ANOVA test a global significance was identified (MANOVA: p<0.022, ηp2=0.331). ANOVA, analysis of variance; MANOVA, multivariate ANOVA
