Weight (kg)	80.6 ± 11.6	73.8 ± 7.1	77.4 ± 8.1	77.4 ± 5.0	p = 0.44

Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation. HG (N = 10) training in hypoxia, BFRG (N = 10) training with blood flow restriction during exercise, BFRrG (N = 10) training with blood flow restriction during recovery, CG (N = 9), control group with normal training. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare differences of means among the four groups
