Statistical summary of the effect of Aqua Titan-treated stockings worn during the 62-h recovery period after an uphill walk on medial-lateral COP movement in a bilateral stance with eyes closed, relative to the pre-walk baseline.

a Data for each contrast are 14-h baseline, 38-h baseline and 62-h baseline. b The threshold for the smallest worthwhile change for the balance function of Hq was set at 0.2 × SD [18]. The likelihood that a contrast was at least greater than the Cohen d threshold was: 25–75% possible; 75–95% likely; 95–99.5% very likely; >99.5% almost certain. Unclear refers to outcomes where the likelihood of both an increase and decrease exceeded 5% [18]. BL = baseline; AqT = Aqua Titan; CI = 95% confidence interval.
