Values are means ± SD. n, number of participants.
MVIC, maximal voluntary isometric contraction. 1RM, one repetition maximum.
There were no significant baseline differences between groups. The values per detraining refer to participants who have both baseline and detraining data, and, therefore, the number of participants in detraining (n = 13) is lower than in training (n = 14).
