All the subjects were tested two days before and immediately after the experimental period on the selected dependent variables. The obtained data from the experimental group and control group before and after the experimental period were statistically analyzed with dependent‘t’-test to find out significant improvements. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level confidences for all the cases.
