  1. a One-way ANOVA/Bonferroni
  2. b Repeated measures one-way ANOVA/Bonferroni
  3. c Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). For each evaluation time, means with different superscript uppercase (in the columns) and lowercase (in the rows) letters indicate a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05)
