a trend toward significancep = 0.059so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

For COD performance, SAQ sessions lasting ≤ 60 min showed a trend toward significance compared to those exceeding 60 min (≤ 60 min, ES = 0.58; >60 min, ES = 0.24; p = 0.059), whereas no significant difference was found for 5-meter sprint performance (≤ 60 min, ES = 0.74; >60 min, ES = 0.39; p = 0.339).

near-significantp = 0.059so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

Subgroup analysis indicated that only session duration had a near-significant effect on COD performance (≤ 60 min: ES = 0.58; >60 min: ES = 0.24; p = 0.059).

did not reach statistical significanceno p-value reported

The findings suggest that shorter training durations (≤ 60 min) may be more beneficial for improving COD performance, although this effect did not reach statistical significance.
