Ratio of the integrated muscle activity recorded during the added head mass trials over that recorded during the control trials when subjects ran at 2.7 ms−1 on a treadmill
N | Mean ± S.D. | P-value | |
---|---|---|---|
Sternohyoid | 16 | 1.24 ± 0.59 | 0.7 |
Sternocleidomastoid | 16 | 1.30 ± 0.68 | 0.86 |
Masseter | 12 | 0.71 ± 0.38 | 0.084 |
Levator scapulae | 14 | 1.21 ± 0.27 | 0.18 |
Upper Trapezius | 16 | 1.26 ± 0.24 | <0.008 |
Splenius capitis | 15 | 1.10 ± 0.26 | 0.86 |
Semi spinalis (right) | 16 | 1.07 ± 0.15 | 0.7 |
Semi spinalis (left) | 11 | 1.10 ± 0.27 | 0.7 |
Values are mean ± standard deviation, of the integrated area per locomotor cycle expressed as a ratio of activity during the control run.
P-values were calculated relative to control trials using the Holm-Bonferroni Sequential Correction.
