Table showing the numbers per group, means of the sEMG response (volts) to TT and GT for each of the eight muscle channels for the three experimental visits. In addition, the repeated measure ANCOVA for the sEMG time × group interaction, F value and the significance for the TT and GT groups.
ANCOVA, analysis of variance; GT, general thrust; sEMG, surface electromyography; TT, targeted thrust.
