Overall p‐values were assessed using the Spearman’s or Pearson’s correlation coefficient, depending on the data distribution. Bold‐faced values demonstrate a significant difference.

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CAVI, cardio‐ankle vascular index; HR, heart rate; MVC, maximal handgrip strength; RPE, rating of perceived exertion.
