effect for phase was discovered, F(1,57) = 6.54, p < .05.
NACS1 was larger than NACS2, t = 2.57, p < .05, overall, but
not for the individual groups (see Tables 10 through 13).
No significance was found for a group by phase
interaction when Groups B and C were combined (see Table 14).
However, significant main effects for phase were found with
both NA, F(2,114) = 6.01, p < .01, and NA change scores,
F(1,57) = 5.50, p < .05, in the same direction as found when
all groups were compared. No significant differences were
obtained when Group B was compared with Group C.
Temperature Ratings
Ocular analysis of Table 5 will reveal that the mean
temperature ratings of the groups had little variation between
the groups or the phases. This observation was borne out in
statistical analyses where no significance was found for
either the mean temperature ratings or the TEMP change scores
(see Table 9) or when Groups B and C were combined and
compared with Group A (see Table 14) or when Group B was
compared with Group C. No further statistical investigation
was conducted since significance was not found using repeated
measures ANOVAs.
Heart Rate Ratings
Mean heart rate scores varied significantly across
phases, F(2,114) = 19.40, p < .001, with HR1 being greater
than HR2 and HR3 overall, t = 4.63, p < .001, t = 4.88, p <
.001, respectively, and HR2 greater than HR3, t = 2.04, p <
