MD = mean difference; CI = confidence interval; SUCRA = surface under the cumulative ranking curve; SJ = squat jump; CMJ = countermovement jump; COD = change of direction; 1RM = one-repetition maximum. Regular Training was used as the reference comparator. Sprint outcomes (5-m, 20-m, 30-m, and 40-m) were analyzed as time in seconds (s), and negative MD values indicate better performance. SJ and CMJ were analyzed as jump height in centimeters (cm), COD was analyzed as movement speed in meters per second (m/s), and 1RM was analyzed in kilograms (kg); for these outcomes, positive MD values indicate better performance. |
