*CV, coefficient of variation.
†Muscles, the respective minimum speeds for each muscle were used to calculate the median minimum speed of all of the muscles.
‡Subjects, the respective minimum speeds of each subject (calculated as the median speed of all muscles for that subject) were used to calculate the median minimum speed for all of the subjects.
