Note. EMG = electromyography, RMS = root mean square, ms = milliseconds
A
indicates a significant change in EMG RMS at 0-50 ms from preseason to mid-season and end of the season.
B
indicates a significant change in EMG RMS at 0-100 ms and 50-100 ms from preseason and mid-season to end of the season.
