The ANOVA test for quantitative variables and the Student’s t-test for related variables were used to complete the analysis. ^a Intra-group p-value; ^b inter-group p-value. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered a statistical significance parameter. ^† Statistical difference (p < 0.05) between both exercise interventions and the control group. ^‡ Statistical difference (<0.05) between resistance exercise and cross-training exercise.
