q3 i? Participants reported less fatigue in exercise lessons than control lessons. → Ayame Tamura 2022

Ayame Tamura 2022¶

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Same linear mixed-effects analysis of the nine-lesson within-subjects intervention as the vigour finding. The intervention showed a "significant negative effect on fatigue" (B = −0.09, t = −2.61, P < 0.05); participants experienced less fatigue after exercising. No standardised effect size is printed.

"Furthermore, the intervention also had a significant negative effect on fatigue ( B = −0.09, t = −2.61, P < 0.05)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Physical Well-Being — outcome: instruction changes it
