Table 2.

Group averages for hip adductor and abductor torques (Nm) and the adductor-to-abductor torque ratio for the three ascribed hip abduction angles. Standard deviations are presented in parentheses. Italicized values are the adjusted p-values for post hoc paired comparisons of means corresponding to statistically significant interactions between exertion direction and the ascribed hip angle (for torques) or main effects of the ascribed hip angle (for torque ratios). Shaded cells represent potential paired comparisons that were not performed.

The following are examples for reading the table: For an ascribed hip abduction angle of 10 degrees, the average adductor torque was 247 Nm (standard deviation of 48 Nm) and the average abductor torque was 130 Nm (standard deviation of 21 Nm. These average torques were statistically different from each other (p < 0.001). The average adductor torque at an ascribed hip angle of 20 degrees was 246 Nm (standard deviation of 48 Nm), which was not statistically different from the average adductor torque at an ascribed hip angle of 10 degrees (p = 0.895). The average adductor-to-abductor torque ratio at an ascribed hip angle of 0 degrees was 1.49 (standard deviation of 0.20), which was statistically smaller than the average ratio of 1.92 (standard deviation of 0.20) at an ascribed hip angle of 10 degrees (p < 0.001).
