CSBT-D = curling-specific balance test, dominant leg; CSBT-N = curling-specific balance test, non-dominant leg; SLBT-D = single-leg balance test, dominant leg; SLBT-N = standing balance test, non-dominant leg; SD = standard deviation; Min = minimum value; Max = maximum value; CV% = within-participant coefficient of variation; ICC = intraclass correlation coefficient; SWC = smallest worthwhile change; TE = typical error of measurement; CI95%, 95% confidence interval.
