Table 4 Bipedal center of pressure during static stance.
| Control group | Weightlifting group | P value1 | P value2 | P value3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Left foot | 48.91±4.52 | 50.21±3.55 | 0.142 | 1.000 | 1.000 |
| Right foot | 51.09±4.52 | 49.79±3.55 | 0.156 | – | – |
| Bipedal center of pressure (CoP) is represented as the percentage of relative load (%), and values are given as mean±SD. 1 The statistical significances of values were determined by the independent samples test between the control group (n=32) and the weightlifting group (n=24). 2 value was determined between the feet of the control group, and 3 value was determined between the feet of the weightlifting group. | |||||
