*possible,**likely,***very likely,****most likely. Comparisons in bold are clear with more conservative hypothesis tests (p < 0.001 or p < 0.05 respectively).SWE, smallest worthwhile effect for benefit. B, boys (footballers); G, girls (gymnasts); CL, 90% confidence limits; DTKI, Determination test for kids. Sample sizes: footballers control 15-19, workshop 13-15; gymnasts control 8-10, workshop 12-13. Clear comparisons (p<0.005 or p<0.25 for rejecting hypotheses of harm or benefit respectively) are shown with the following likelihoods for benefit or harm:
