¹ Each trial contained 3 matches with a 1-hr rest between match 1 and 2 and a 2-hr rest between match 2 and 3. A match contained 3 exercise periods lasting 2 minutes each with a work to rest ratio of 10 seconds: 20 seconds. After each exercise period, a 2 minute rest period was provided before the next exercise period. The load was 0.1 kp/kg body weight. All values are means ± SEMs. Data were analyzed by using repeated measures ANOVA with time and group as factors. No significant main effect was observed for any of the variables.
