Statistics
Statistical analysis was carried out using IBM SPSS version 29 (IBM Corporation, USA). GraphPad Prism software v9 was used for graph creation. Normality and sphericity were confirmed using Shapiro–Wilk and Mauchly's test. A repeated-measures ANOVA (2 × 2) with randomized group (EXP vs. CON) as between subject factor, and time (pre- and post-intervention) as a within subject factor was performed on TAP tests results and SGS. A paired-samples t-test was used to determine within-group differences over time. The study employed an intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis as the primary method of analysis. Cohen's d effect size (ES) was used to assess the observed differences magnitude for each group. A magnitude of 0.2 < ES ≤ 0.5 was considered small, while a magnitude of 0.5 < ES ≤ 0.8 and ES > 0.8 was treated as moderate and large [The sample size calculation was performed using G*Power. It was calculated based on the results of a previous study [
