Note: Data are mean ± SD. The experimental groups performed different set configurations: TS (n = 9), AS (n = 10). Statistically significant differences with respect to TS group (* p < 0.05). Abbreviations: TS: Traditional-set experimental group; AS: Alternating-set experimental group; MPV: mean propulsive velocity; Reps: number of repetitions performed.
