Note: FLEX = home-based flexibility; PRT = progressive resistance training. Average of baseline visit 1 and baseline visit 2 measures was used in all analyses. All measures in this table were determined at 120°/s. Between-group change and the p value were calculated with a linear regression model adjusting for gender. Baseline and within-group Δ (change) values are mean ± SD. Between-group Δ values are mean change estimated from the model (with 95% confidence interval).
