Data are presented as mean ± SD. DOMS, delayed onset muscle soreness (0–10 scale, one day after training sessions); HIIT, high-intensity interval training; HR, heart rate; HRmax, age-predicted maximum heart rate (220 minus age, in years); RPE, rating of perceived exertion (0–10 scale). ∗perception of swelling and of risk of actual muscle “crisis” (rhabdomyolysis) (yes/no) was reported 3 h after the end of training sessions.
