PA, power athletes; SA, strength athletes; NA, non-athletes. MIVCLP, maximal bilateral isometric force in leg press; AF500, average force during first 500 ms of isometric contraction in leg press; APSQ, average power during maximal power type of back-squat in Smith machine; CMJ, countermovement jump height.

p < 0.05,
**
p < 0.01, and
***
p < 0.001 refers to significant differences compared to NA and
