  1. EPR scores indicate that the lower limb fatigue in the observation group were lower than the control group on the 3rd and 7th days (P < 0.05), and both lower than the 1st day respectively (P < 0.05), values are expressed in mean ± sd. * represents the change of the 1st and 7th day between the two groups
