Five valid trials were recorded before and after the intervention. The lowest value was the primary best-trial score; the mean and median were sensitivity measures. Baseline-adjusted post-test differences were assessed using ANCOVA. Because the standard best-trial ANCOVA violated slope-homogeneity and linearity assumptions, an extended nonlinear baseline-interaction model was evaluated using 5,000 bias-corrected and accelerated bootstrap replicates. Mixed-design ANOVAs examined pre-to-post trajectories.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>FR-A had lower adjusted post-test reaction time than FR-B under best-trial (difference\u2009= \u221221.86 ms, 95% CI: \u221230.31 to \u221213.41; adjusted p\u2009&lt;\u2009.01), mean-based (\u221212.36 ms, adjusted p\u2009&lt;\u2009.01), and median-based scoring (\u221210.94 ms, adjusted p\u2009=\u2009.03). The FR-A\u2013control difference was significant in the standard best-trial ANCOVA (\u221215.44 ms, 95% CI: \u221224.12 to \u22126.76; adjusted p\u2009&lt;\u2009.01) and extended bootstrap comparison (\u221214.79 ms, adjusted p\u2009&lt;\u2009.01), but not in mean-based (adjusted p\u2009=\u2009.33) or median-based analyses (adjusted p\u2009=\u2009.39). Extended bootstrap estimates were also higher in FR-B than in the control group (9.52 ms, adjusted p\u2009=\u2009.01). Because this model contained baseline interactions, these contrasts represented average rather than constant differences across baseline values. The time\u2009\u00d7\u2009group interaction was significant only for best-trial scoring (p\u2009&lt;\u2009.01).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>FR-A had consistently lower adjusted reaction time than FR-B across all scoring methods. However, the FR-A\u2013control comparison depended on baseline reaction time and scoring method. Thus, the findings do not establish a scoring-independent benefit of the 30-second protocol over passive rest or support a firm practical recommendation.<\/jats:p>\n
