cp value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant
dResults are shown for the crude values and for adjusted model with physical performance results as covariates
eEyes open with the better foot, time measured continuing for a maximum of 30 s
fMean of the best result for both legs from three attempts
gHandheld dynamometer (Jamar, Sammons-Preston, Illinois, USA) the dominant hand with three attempts, the best result was used in the analysis
