aExp(B) = Exponentiated values of the coefficients

bCI = 95% confidence interval

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
