  1. Mean change calculated as ‘time point value’ minus ‘pre-exercise value’, with positive numbers indicating increases in lifting velocity (m s−1) from pre-exercise (and negative values indicate a decrease)
  2. *Denotes a statistically significant within-protocol difference from pre-exercise to post-exercise
  3. Data shown are presented as mean ± SD
