Table 3.

Paired t tests for force and duration differences in short vs long MMTs

Comparison Mean Difference DF t Value P Value
Mean Duration Short − Long MMT −1.245 43 −17.875 <.0001
Mean Force Short − Long MMT −.804 43 −.4023 .0002
Normalized Force Difference:
Short MMT/MVIC − Long MMT/MVIC		 −.032 43 −4.276 .0001

Force in pounds, duration in seconds. Short tests, approximately 1 second; long tests, approximately 3 seconds. MVIC, Peak force during MVIC.
