†Column numbers correspond to the following criteria on the PEDro scale: (1) eligibility criteria were specified; (2) participants were randomly allocated to groups; (3) allocation was concealed; (4) groups were similar at baseline; (5) participants were blinded; (6) evaluators who administered the tests were blinded; (7) assessors were blinded; (8) measures of key outcomes (EPOC magnitude and duration and EE) were obtained from more than 85% of participants; (9) data were analyzed by intention to treat; (10) statistical comparisons between groups were conducted; (11) point measures and measures of variability were provided. The total score is determined by counting the number of criteria that are satisfied, except that scale item 1 is not used to generate the total score, so total scores are out of 10. + indicates the criterion was clearly satisfied; − indicates that it was not; ? indicates that it is not clear if the criterion was satisfied; X indicates that the criterion does not apply; RM: repetition maximum; rep.: number of repetitions; RI: rest interval; C: circuit training; PS: progressive sets; A/A: agonist/antagonist; conc.: concentric; exc.: eccentric; PE: pre-exhaustion; s: seconds; min: minutes. *significant difference between groups.
