Table 3. Summary of statistical results (ANOVAs) of COP sway parameters.
These results depict the effects of fatigue (time), sex, vision, and fatigue-related interactions during quiet standing (QS) and standing forward leaning (FL) tasks. The results are shown for the COP data that are not normalized by anthropometric variables (weight, height, and BMI).
