Table 2.
Training intensity, metabolism and delta CK 24h-pre. Groups: “Strength” (S) and “Strength + EMS” (S+E) at training session 1 (TS 1) and training session 12 (TS 12). Pooled data (P) only presented if ANOVA showed effects between TSs, but no group or interaction (group x TS) effects. Data are given in means ± SD. * = significant different to TS 1 (p<0.05).
