2.5. Exhaustive Exercise Test (EET)
EET was performed on day 14 of supplementation. Height and body mass were measured immediately prior to testing. All participants completed a warm-up consistent with the strength measurements regime. Following the warm-up and a 90 s rest period, the participants completed five maximal effort sets of 8 repetitions, with a 90 s rest period between each set. Subjects were given verbal instructions to push and resist while performing the EET. The non-dominant limb was tested first before repeating the procedure with the dominant limb.
