M = Mean; SD = Standard deviation; SUP = Sit-ups in 30 seconds test;

BAH = Bent arm hang test; ESR = 20-m endurance shuttle run test; BAH ^a = for statistical analysis the raw data were transformed by the logarithm; p = significance level from two-way analysis of variance; Effect size = Hedges’ g effect size.

Post-hoc analyses with Bonferroni adjustment: Change statistically significant from pretest to posttest (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01);

Change statistically significant from pretest to retest (††p < 0.01, †††p < 0.001)
