Fig. 5.
Mean (± SD) weekly rates of perceived exertion (RPE) and step accuracy during the 6-week training programmes. Although RPE remained consistently low to moderate during the programmes, a significant increase in weekly RPE was detected in week 3 and week 5 during the ECCPF training programme (a). A significant increase in step accuracy was detected after week 1 (b) during both training programmes with accuracy greater in weeks 2–6 than week 1. No further change occurred during the training programmes. *Significantly different from other weeks. Significance accepted at P < 0.05
