In the higher fit group, a group × time interaction was observed at the 1st, F (1, 23) = 12.10, p < 0.01, η 2 = 0.35, 2nd, F (1, 23) = 5.94, p < 0.01, η 2 = 0.21, and 3rd PI, F (1, 23) = 5.32, p < 0.05, η 2 = 0.19), due to a longer IT at post-test than at pre-test in the control group [1st PI, F (1, 10) = 12.94, p = 0.01, η 2 = 0.56; 2nd PI, F (1, 10) = 5.97, p < 0.01, η 2 = 0.37, and marginally significant at the 3rd PI; F (1, 10) = 4.43, p = 0.06, η 2 = 0.31].
