Repeated-measures ANOVA across the 5 weeks: F_(4,36)= 6.892; p < 0.001. Student–Newman–Keuls: week 5 versus week 1, q₍₃₆₎= 4.074, p < 0.05; week 5 versus week 2, q₍₃₆₎= 4.225, p < 0.05; week 5 versus week 3, q₍₃₆₎= 4.074, p < 0.05; week 5 versus week 4, q₍₃₆₎= 7.394, p < 0.01. The other comparisons are not significant.
