Analyses were conducted in SAS 9.4 TS1M7 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). Differences in mean skin temperature between sides were analyzed using a repeated measures mixed effect model with group (side), time, and a side by time interaction. Due to statistical significance, the interaction term was kept in the model and individual differences between sides were subsequently evaluated using least squares means with Tukey's adjustment for multiple comparisons. Statistical significance was identified at the level of 0.05.
