The study found the "program did not significantly improve quality of life," but did improve two measurements: lifestyle profile and self-efficacy. Those two measurements are defined as "reported adherence to positive lifestyle practices" and "belief in one's ability to make positive health changes with these practices."The report also suggested anxiety decreased significantly in subjects at the end of the three-month post-treatment, though not immediately after the treatment itself.Perhaps, in three months' time, Rodgers, the Packers and everyone else with a rooting interest in what happens between the two parties will be significantly le s stre sed as well.
