TABLE 3.
Derived performance indicators for winning and losing teams expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD), percentage (%) mean difference and effect sizes (ES) with their 90% confidence intervals (CI) and interpretation. P-values were calculated using the likelihood ratio test in the mixed linear model (MLM).
