The values in bold type were significant. Interactions involving the crank position indicate that the kinematic curves were compared (*p < 0.008 for significance due to six joint motions being studied). For example, condition × crank position means that the kinematic curves were compared during cycling with and without the guide. In addition, condition by cadence indicates that the mean values were compared between conditions and cadences without taking the crank position, and thus timing differences, into account.
