They were tested before and after 12 sessions of exercise and were compared with the control group, 13 persons, who did not do any sport activities. After 12 sessions of exercise, statistical studies showed some significant changes in cardiorespiratory endurance, and strength and endurance of the abdominal muscles and scapula, but the results were not significant in explosive power of calf muscles.
