Results of multiple regression model using muscle volume and MA as predictors of torque (R2) and the linear mixed model demonstrating the effect of MA on isokinetic ankle torque
| Plantar Flexion Speed | R2 | MA Effects on TOR |
|---|---|---|
| Isometric | 0.445 (0.007) | |
| 30°/s | 0.506 (0.003) | ↑ (0.272) |
| 120°/s | 0.491 (0.003) | ↓ (0.078) |
| 210°/s | 0.520 (0.002) | ↓ (0.048) |
Nos. in parentheses are P values for the multiple regression model and the effects of MA on isokinetic ankle torque (TOR), respectively. Directional arrows in column showing the effects of MA on TOR indicate whether slope of regression line increased or decreased with respect to isometric torque regression.
