n=19 participants at risk
Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders
Delayed patella tendon soreness
5.3%
1/19 • Number of events 1
Adverse events can not be reported by intervention group because the data were not unblinded for data analyse. Based on results of preliminary analyses, the blind was not broken to further parse out the data for adverse events.
Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders
back soreness
5.3%
1/19 • Number of events 1
Adverse events can not be reported by intervention group because the data were not unblinded for data analyse. Based on results of preliminary analyses, the blind was not broken to further parse out the data for adverse events.
Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders
foot soreness
5.3%
1/19 • Number of events 1
Adverse events can not be reported by intervention group because the data were not unblinded for data analyse. Based on results of preliminary analyses, the blind was not broken to further parse out the data for adverse events.
