Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. P(TxG), group-by-time interaction (p < 0.05, all such occurrences). Two-factor repeated-measures ANOVA. η2p, the effect of the size.* Significantly different between study points (T1 vs. T2); p < 0.05. Control group, CG; intervention group, IG; kilograms, kg; seconds, s; Workouts of the Day, WODs; testosterone, T; cortisol, C; nanograms per deciliter, ng/dL; rate perceived exertion, RPE.
