On the left side, the measurement outcomes, EMG at the time of Impact (EMG(Imp)), Post-Impact EMG Time T(Post-Imp-Max) and Post Impact EMG amplitude EMG(Post-Imp-Max) for retraction muscles and Rebound muscles are listed. The estimated mean from the linear mixed model and the following pairwise analysis tested between the types within the directions are reported. p-values are corrected using Benjamini–Hochberg method and p-value < 0.05 considered as significant
