Muscle strength test
Before the commencement of testing, a 10-min warm-up consisting of light-intensity movements and stretching, and two warm-up sets of exercises with no load was performed. Lower-body (i.e., back squat) and upper-body (i.e., chest press) dynamic strength was determined as the maximum weight lifted in a single and complete repetition (one repetition maximum [1RM]) in the same order as mentioned, according to a standardized 1RM testing protocol. The test has been shown to be valid and reliable in assessing muscle strength changes [
