Following the author’s declaration received to the Asian Journal of Sports Medicine on 15 March 2019 (Ticket #378448) and in line with COPE flowchart (http://bit.ly/2fCptzz ) about duplicate publications, the editor-in-chief of the journal decided to retract the mentioned article from the publishing process. Based on a written document, the corresponding author (Hossein Taheri Chadorneshin) declared that it has been previously published by the same authors in a Turkish journal [International Journal of Science Culture and Sport (IntJSCS)]. Most of the text and all the tables are the same as in the article that was published in Turkish journal. The author agreed to this retraction.
