  1. TP time of practice, Flexibility flexibility of back and leg muscles, Hand-grip strenght maximal isometric handgrip strenght, Injuries/I. Practitioner injury incidence per injured practitioner. Height, body weight, flexibility, and hand-grip strenght results are expressed in mean ± standard deviation, ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls test. Age, time of practice, and exposure time results are presented in median and interval between 25th and 75th percentile, ANOVA and Dunn test; * p < 0.05 vs. G1; # p < 0.05 vs. G2
