¹Exit velocity classifications were derived by sorting exit velocities highest to lowest and splitting into thirds, first third being fast, second third being medium, and last third being slow.

²Blood lactate was measured using a Lactate Pro meter.

³Body temperature was measured using a veterinary digital thermometer fitted with a rectal probe.
