Correlation matrix for the pretest to posttest relative change scores for all the muscle strength variables. Correlations are reported as Pearson’s r with the exception of the Ecc30 variable, which are reported as Spearman’s rho.

Variable	EccPF	LP 1 RM	IsomPT	Ecc30	Con150
EccPF		0.54a	0.57 *	0.41	0.54b
LP 1 RM			0.05	0.07	0.18
IsomPT				0.17	0.56 *
Ecc30					0.18

All correlations are reported as Pearson’s r with the exception of the Ecc30 variable, which are reported as Spearman’s rho (see text). EccPF = Eccentron peak force; LP 1 RM = leg press one-repetition maximum; IsomPT = isometric peak torque (Biodex); Ecc30 = eccentric peak torque at 30°·sec⁻¹ (Biodex); Con150 = concentric peak torque at 150°·sec⁻¹ (Biodex). * p < 0.05, a p = 0.055, b p = 0.057.
