measures ANOVA was performed with time (five different
points) and group (RVE versus RE) as main factors, as well as
an interaction between main factors. A repeated measures
ANCOVA was performed to assess the effect of training load
progression as a covariate on SFA baseline diameters. Values
are given as means±SD. There were 10 missing values out of
156 in the RE group and 12 out of 156 in the RVE group.
Those values were linearly interpolated using adjacent data.
Tukey’s test was used for post hoc testing. Differences regarding the anthropometric characteristics at baseline were assessed
performing a non-pairedt-test.
