  1. Taver of ML the average temperature of left side of the muscles, Taver of Th the average temperature of thoracic vertebrae, Taver of MR the average temperature of right side of the muscles. a, b - subsequent letters in superscript indicated differences before/after a training session and LBW/HBW. Additionally, differences before/after a training session indicated with the p-value. The significance level was established as p < 0.05
