Repeated measure ANOVA results are based on the Greenhouse-Geisser correction. Post hoc method with Bonferroni correction for pairwise comparison.
Level of significance: *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.
†Prior the ANOVA test a global significance was identified (MANOVA: p<0.008, etap2=0.712).
ANOVA, analysis of variance; COM, centre of mass; MANOVA, multivariate analysis of variance.
