TSS, ADVERSE EFFECT
All participants completed all procedures and training sessions and were included in the analyses. No adverse effect was reported. Compared with the preceding month, the training camp induced a significant increase in the training loads of the participants, as reflected by raises in weekly training time (14.9 ± 2.7 versus 23.9 ± 0.8 hours, respectively; p < 0.001), load (TSS: 659 ± 122 versus 1207 ± 122 TSS, respectively; p < 0.001), distance (423 ± 81 versus 684 ± 25 km, respectively; p < 0.001), or work (9765 ± 2154 versus 15,545 ± 1975 kJ, respectively; p < 0.001).No between-group differences were found for baseline variables, including age (19 ± 1, 20 ± 2 and 19 ± 2 years for Participants’ macronutrient intake during the training camp is shown in Total energy and macronutrient intake by group.Data are shown as mean ± SD and expressed as units per day.
