Table 1.

Plantar temperatures (Mean ± SD) at the first metatarsal head (Met I) and Hallux before (pre) and after (post) the two interventions: Experiment 1: Walking on a treadmill, representing the active group (AG). Experiment 2: Externally warming one foot sole via an infrared radiator in the passive group (PG), whilst the other foot remained untreated, representing the control group (CG).

Significant differences:

Pre versus Post: ^Ip = 0.012; ^IIp < 0.001; ^IIIp < 0.001; ^IVp < 0.001; ^Vp < 0.001.

Within Pre: ^ap < 0.001, ^bp = 0.001.

Within Post: ^*p < 0.001; ^§p < 0.001.
