Figure 3.

Reduction in mechanical output after interval exercise on the soft robot. Box Whisker plots visualizing the median + standard error (box and central line) and minima/maxima (whisker) of the post- vs. pre- exercise differences in Ppeak and the RFD for the concentric and eccentric protocol, respectively. Power values were assessed by the two-legged reactive power test, real power test, negative power test, CMJ, SJ, and the one-legged multiple jumps. RFD was determined for the reactive power test, real power test and negative power test. $: p < 0.05 vs. pre (see Table 1). Repeated ANOVA for the repeated factors of time point relative to the exercise on the soft robot (i.e., pre, post) and exercise protocol (i.e., concentric, eccentric) with post-hoc test for least significant difference.
