CON: Control group; BIO: Bioceramic group; CWI: cold-water immersion group; HRmean: mean heart rate; s-RPE: session rating of perceived exertion (arbitrary units); Nº Sprints: number of sprints performed in the match (≥20 km/h); Sprints = Distance covered performed ≥20 km/h (meters). Values are presented as means ± standard deviation.
