Note: Model 0, total runners; model 0a male runners; model 0b, female runners; model 1, indicates that no parameters are restricted to being equal in all groups; model 2, factorial loads restricted to being equal; model 3, observed strctural weights and factorial loads restricted to being equal; model 4, observed structural covariances, structural weights and factorial loads restricted to being equal; model 5, observed structural residues, structural covariances, structural weights and factorial loads restrictied to being equal. Dif. CMIN, difference between the model and the other models;, Dif. DF. difference between the model and the other models; p, level of significance across models.
