Repeated-measures ANOVA and post hoc Bonferroni were performed to verify the differences among periods for the whole group or for each sex. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05

Different letters indicate statistically significant differences between periods (also highlighted in bold.) Different numbers indicate significant differences between men and women for each variable and studied period
