Recovery and fatigue
DOMS, delayed-onset muscle soreness, time––except, fatigue
A significant time effect was observed for the total Hooper index score (p < 0.001) as well as for specific items of fatigue (p < 0.001) and DOMS (p < 0.001), all of which increased over time––except for sleep (p = 0.148) or stress (p = 0.264); yet, no significant group-by-time interaction effect was observed for any of the items (Differences between study groups on the Hooper index sub-items and total score reported daily during the training camp.

Abbreviations: Hooper index (average scores reported during the training camp) by group.Data are shown as mean ± SD. Although a significant group effect (p = 0.043) was observed for delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), post hoc analyses revealed no specific between-group differences.
