Table 2. The main effects of set outcome and score gap on external load, and the linear mixed model statistics. Values reported are EMM and ES with 95% CI. Negative estimated differences for match indicate values were lower in winners compared to losers, for score gap they indicate values were lower in 0-5 and 6-10 compared to >10.
