* Interaction between bands at p<0.05 (two-way ANOVA). Significant differences in the post hoc analysis (p <0.05) per the intervention condition (Tukey’s multiple comparison test).
Continuous variables are presented as means and standard errors of the mean, CI: confidence interval; PF: Plantar flexion; DF: Dorsiflexion torque; WBLT: Weight-bearing lunge test; d: difference; ES: Effect Size; Tukey: Tukey’s multiple comparison test.
