In addition to the descriptive statistics, one - way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test th e null hypotheses generated with significance level set at P < 0.05. Results: No significant age impact was found on the pre - training and post - training CPR knowledge of the student teachers (P > 0.05). However, there was a positive impact of male gender o n post - training CPR knowledge of the participants (P <0.001).
