Besides the absolute value, 1 RM values relative to the athlete’s weight were also calculated. Endurance strength tests involved theperformance of the maximal number of repetitions with 70% of 1RMfor each exercise.Static grip strength was assessed for right and left hand using aJamarTMdynamometer. For this test a low variation (less than 2%)and a high reliability (ICC = 0.97) has been observed in our labora-tory
