B = Regression coefficient, CI = Confidence Intervals at 95%, R2 = Coefficient of determination

P-value significant < 0.05

Definitions:

Weight acceptance peak index: Slope of the force curve during the weight acceptance phase

Weight acceptance rate: Slope of force curve during the loading phase

Impulse: Area under the curve of the force/time curve for each foot strike

Active force peak: Maximum force for the active peak of the force/time curve for each foot strike
