  1. An unpaired t test was used to compare values between the two groups in terms of the amount of variation
  2. Data are presented as a mean (95% confidence interval)
  3. p < 0.05. p values less than 5% were considered significant in both cases
  4. LST low-intensity exercise with slow movement and tonic force generation
