Pre- and post-intervention measurements
Pre- and post-intervention measurements were performed on Friday and Monday mornings; the participants were tested at the same time of day throughout the study period to avoid potential diurnal variations. Before these measurements, the participants were instructed to avoid food and caffeine and alcohol intake for at least 12 and 24 h, respectively. Pre- and post-intervention measurements were conducted under comfortable laboratory conditions between 09:00 AM and 11:00 AM.
