Countermovement jump height (CMJ), reactive strength index (RSI), delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS, 0\u2013200\u00a0mm), and subjective well-being were measured before and 12, 36, and 60 hours postmatch. Global positioning systems measured external load during matches, and dietary intake was recorded across the testing period.\n \n Results<\/jats:bold>\n :\n <\/jats:italic>\n External load and dietary intake did not differ between conditions (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009\u2265\u2009.246).
