  1. Group comparison p values indicate there were no differences between sprint groups
  2. a95 % CI changes that failed to cross 0 (i.e., 0 change) were considered significant with a significant decrease above baseline
  3. b95 % CI changes that failed to cross 0 (i.e., 0 change) were considered significant with a significant increase above baseline
