Performance of the groups in the maximum performance tests (MPT) during the OP. SSED: Semi sedentary; FOR: functional overreaching; NFOR=nonfunctional overreaching. *Indicates increase in intragroup performance in relation to MPT-1 (P < 0.05). α: Indicates performance reduction in relation to MPT-6 (P < 0.05). Different letters indicate differences between groups (P < 0.05)
