| Variables | Tests | Ch | YA | OA | S | Comparisons between groups |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TT (s) | Median (Q1–Q3) | 69.0 (60.6–87.3) | 49.6 (45.6–55.6) | 51.7 (48.4–55.8) | 57.0 (52.3–67.6) | Ch > YA**, OA* S > YA* |
| Mean S (°s−1) | Mean ± SD | 9.4 ± 2.3 | 13.7 ± 1.9 | 13.3 ± 2.4 | 10.6 ± 2.4 | Ch < YA**, OA** S < YA**, OA* |
| Dec (°s−2) | Median (Q1–Q3) | −1.9 (−2.6–1.4) | −2.9 (−3.7–2.5) | −3.2 (–3.7–2.3) | −2.3 (−3.1–1.7) | Ch > YA**, OA* |

| OS (°) | Median (Q1–Q3) | 1.0 (0.7–1.5) | 0.8 (0.5–1.1) | 0.7 (0.5–1.1) | 0.5 (0.5–0.9) | # |
Notes:
If normality test passed results were in mean with standard deviation (SD) and if normality test failed results were in median with interquartile range (Q1–Q3). Ch, Children; YA, Younger adults; OA, Older Adults, S, Seniors. Age-related significant difference is observed for time duration (DidRen total time), for Mean Speed (MeanS), Deceleration (Dec) and Acceleration (Acc). No age-group significant difference = (#) for Maximum speed (Max S), Minimum speed (Min S) and Overshoot (OS). Indications for which group differed from another: Longer or Slower = (>), Less = (<).
