In contrast, the intervention group recorded a significant improvement, due to the highly significant interaction effect of −0.007 ( p = 0.004), the slope of the lactate curve decreased substantially.

Regarding the primary hypothesis, the group × time interaction, representing the additional gain in the intervention group, remained positive ( β = 1.404) but did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.234) after adjusting for age.
