Comfort | 8.06 ± 1.41 | 6.96 ± 2.03 | 1.10 (0.81 to 1.40) | < 0.0001 |
Injury rate | 0.70 ± 1.01 | 1.21 ± 1.53 | -0.51 (-1.28 to 0.25) | 0.18 |
Running speed (miles per hour) | 6.27 ± 1.03 | 6.00 ± 1.54 | 0.28 (0.06 to 0.50) | 0.013 |
Values for the intervention group and control group are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Statistical analysis used P values from unpaired two-tailed t-tests with Welch's correction. Significant difference was considered if P < 0.05. CI: Confidence interval. Injury rate: Number of injuries reported per participant over the 8-wk study period.
