ADA mean percent difference plots for the 4% BW condition (Panel A), and the 2% BW condition (Panel B), when compared to the 0% BW condition. Points represent the mean percent difference, while the error-bar represents the 90% confidence interval. The intra-day CV% is shown for each metric as the grey area. Only significant metrics are highlighted. *Note: “GCD” = Ground contact deceleration.

505 percent difference plots for the 4% BW condition (Panel A), and the 2% BW condition (Panel B), when compared to the 0% BW condition. Points represent the mean percent difference, while the error-bar represents the 90% confidence interval. The intra-day CV% is shown for each metric as the grey area. Only significant metrics are highlighted. *Note: “GCD” = Ground contact deceleration.
