p Values for Main Effects of Age, Exercise, and the Age × Exercise Interaction on Percent Difference
Criteria | 2×2 ANCOVA | 2×2 × 2 Repeated Measures ANCOVA | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Age | Exercise | Age × Exercise | Age | Exercise | Age × Exercise | |
Grip | .004* | .094† | .561 | - | - | .026* |
Rotarod | - | <.001* | .045* | - | <.001* | <.001* |
Endurance | - | <.001* | .040* | - | <.001* | .001* |
Activity‡ | N/A | N/A |
Notes: p Values given for the repeated measures ANCOVA were from the within-subject test. Main effects reported with the caveat that with a significant age × exercise interaction, the main effect is tempered by and depends upon the interaction. ANCOVA = analysis of covariance; - = no difference.
*Significant at p < .05.
† p = .051–.100.
‡Activity level was only tested in exercise groups; but the ANCOVA was not significant.
