Exploring running styles in the field through cadence and duty factor modulation
Table 3
Mean slope of the targeted variable cadence and the two potentially co-varying variables duty factor and speed as a function of acoustically paced cadence modulations (center rows) and mean difference between the verbal instructions to increase and decrease stance time (increase–decrease) in the targeted variable duty factor (positive values indicate a change in the modulated direction) and potentially co-varying variables cadence and speed (lower rows).
Slope and difference data are complemented by 95% confidence intervals and the results of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. Expected changes for targeted (T) and potentially co-varying (C) variables are shown at the top of each block; results in line with these expectations are highlighted in green.
