Results of the statistical analyses for inter-limb asymmetry indices across intensity levels during the VAM-EVAL test
| χ² / F | df | p | Kendall’s W / η²p | |
| PWR ASYM | 3.171 | 3 | .366 | .076 |
| CAD ASYM | 0.848 | 3 | .838 | .020 |
| VO ASYM | 4.114 | 3 | .249 | .098 |
| GCT ASYM | 5.143 | 3 | .162 | .122 |
| SL ASYM | 5.571 | 3 | .134 | .133 |
| SmO2 ASIM | 5.653 | 3 | .003 | .303 |
| Note. χ²F = Friedman test statistic; F = F statistic; df = degrees of freedom; p = significance level; Kendall’s W = effect size for Friedman test; η²p = partial eta squared (effect size). ASYM = asymmetry; PWR = power; CAD = cadence; VO = vertical oscillation; GCT = ground contact time; SL = step length; SmO2 = muscle oxygen saturation; MAS = maximal aerobic speed. PWR ASYM, CAD ASYM, VO ASYM, GCT ASYM, and SL ASYM were analyzed using the Friedman test, whereas SmO2 ASYM was analyzed using a repeated-measures ANOVA. Statistical significance was set at p < .05. | ||||
