2.1. Study Design
A single-blinded crossover randomized controlled trial with 1:1:1 allocation was reported according to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) checklist (The participants were assigned at the beginning of each intervention week by an independent researcher to guarantee concealed allocation. Thus, therapists and participants had no previous knowledge of the intervention sequence, however, therapists and participants were not blinded to the intervention. The assessments were performed by independent investigators blinded to group allocation. All randomized participants were analyzed in the groups to which they were randomly assigned, regardless of their adherence to the protocol. However, if participants missed one or both testing sessions, they were excluded from the analysis because testing sessions could only take place once a week due to the athletes’ training routine.The application time-point was chosen based on a pilot study that found that a 24-h rest after swim training can return perceptions to baseline, but the most inconvenient perceptions appeared after resistance training and higher loads on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays.
