| Statistic | df1 | df2 | P value | ||||||
| 1 | Vertical jump | 0.87 | 1 | 1 | 1,644 | 244 | 1 | 1,644 | <0.001 |
| 2 | Body height | 0.85 | 2 | 1 | 1,644 | 141 | 2 | 1,643 | <0.001 |
| 3 | Spike reach | 0.84 | 3 | 1 | 1,644 | 102 | 3 | 1,642 | <0.001 |
| 4 | Body mass | 0.84 | 4 | 1 | 1,644 | 79 | 4 | 1,641 | <0.001 |
At each step, the variable that minimizes the overall Wilks’ lambda is entered. The maximum number of steps is 20; the minimum partial F for inclusion is 3.84; the maximum partial F for removal is 2.71; and the F level, tolerance, or VIN is insufficient for further computation.
