  1. Group mean values and standard deviations obtained in November 2008. BMI body mass index, RM repetition maximum. The Cooper test is a 12-min running test of physical fitness. The squat was performed as a full barbell squat with the femurs parallel to the ground. Some measures involved different number of players; the Cooper test (n = 8 in both groups); the sprint test (n = 9 in the Nordic group and n = 8 in the control group); the countermovement jump test (CMJ; n = 9 in both groups); and Squat 1RM (n = 7 in the Nordic group and n = 4 in the control group)
