Note: data expressed as mean ± SD; T0 before intervention; T1 immediately after intervention; T2 30 min after intervention; T3 60 min after intervention; FG flexible group; AG average group; SG stiff group. Post-hoc comparison: * significant differences compared to T0; # significant difference compared to T1.
