B1, baseline assessment conducted ~24 h pre-intervention; B2, baseline assessment conducted immediately pre-intervention; diff., difference; dist., distribution; EMG, electromyography; Inter, evaluation of intermediate carry-over effects comprising two assessments immediately and two hours post-intervention; RMS, root mean square. Values are medians and interquartile ranges.
