Values are presented as mean ± SD. Between-group comparisons were performed using independent-samples t tests. Effect sizes are reported as Hedges’ g, calculated as elite group minus amateur group. Positive values indicate higher values in the elite group, whereas negative values indicate higher values in the amateur group. |
