*p < 0.05, main time effect, compared to pre-ex, repeated two-way ANOVA, followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test.

Pre-ex, before exercise session; post-ex, immediately after exercise session; post-im, immediately post immersion; pre-t, immediately before performance test; post-t, immediately post performance tests; 24 h post-ex, 24 h after the exercise session.
