For each variable, the number of subjects who showed a very likely change (i.e. probability of a positive or negative change >90%) is shown. When individual changes were found in opposite directions, the number of subjects increasing (>) or decreasing (<) values is reported in parentheses. CMJh, Counter-movement jump height; MOG, Mognoni’s test; HIT, High-intensity Intermittent Test; HR, heart rate; PPO, peak power output; PF, peak force; Yo-YoIR1, Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test; [H+], blood hydrogen ions concentration; [HCO3-], blood bicarbonates concentration; [La-], blood lactate concentration; T1, before the preparation period; T2, after the preparation period; T3, during the competitive phase of the season.
