CT1, concentration test at rest; CT2, concentration test after interval; SAT, service accuracy test; CMJ 1, countermovement jump with arms on the hips; CMJ 2, countermovement jump with arms swing; CON, control; CRY, cryotherapy. CI, 90% confidence interval. All data are percentages, with the exception of baseline values expressed in measurement units. Inferences shown in bold are clear at the 98% level of confidence. aAdjusted to overall mean of in baseline CON and CRY group. bAdjusted mean change of CRY group minus adjusted mean CON group. cMagnitude thresholds (for difference in means divided by SD of CRY group): <0.20, trivial; 0.20–0.59, small; 0.60–1.19, moderate; >1.20, large. ↑ – increase; ↓ – decrease. Asterisks indicate effects clear at the 5% level and likelihood that the true effect is substantial: ∗ – possible, ∗∗ – likely, ∗∗∗ – very likely, ∗∗∗∗ – most likely.
