Table 2. Metabolic, mechanical work and electromyography recordings results of General Linear Model repeated measures with three factors considering group (G: Older vs young), time (T: Pre-BR vs Post-BR vs Post-PT), speeds (considering four different speeds, S: 0.83 vs 1.11 vs 1.39 vs 1.67 m·s-1) and interaction (G x T x S).
