  1. Plasma concentrations of cortisol ([cortisol]p), adrenaline ([adrenaline]p), noradrenaline ([noradrenaline]p), dopamine ([dopamine]p), and aldosterone ([aldosterone]p) are shown as means (SD) in the intervention (PG) and the control group (CG)
  2. P values of the effects of group and time and interaction group and time from two-way ANOVA repeated measurement are shown. †, compared between before and after the onset of rehabilitation program at the level of P < 0.05
