Table 6.

Difficulty levels and their corresponding perturbations of treadmill belt acceleration/deceleration, speed (increase) and duration of unilateral treadmill acceleration and deceleration

Difficulty level Acceleration/Deceleration (m/s2) Speed (increase/decrease, m/s) Duration (s)
1 3 0.5 0.20
2 3 0.85 0.28
3 3 1.2 0.36
4 3 1.55 0.44
5 3 1.9 0.52
6 3 2.25 0.60
7 3 2.5 0.68

Speed: The increase or decrease in unilateral treadmill belt speed in m/s for each difficulty level. Duration: The amount of time during which the increased speed is maintained
