DOMS= delayed onset muscle soreness. Data from Scott et al. [51] were not included in the meta-analyses since fatigue and soreness were reported as estimated marginal means. *means significantly different from pre. Significant differences were reported by the authors in the original studies. Missing values are data that could not be extracted by software and for which we had no response from the contacted authors. Values are as mean ± standard deviation
