Fig. 4. Increasing acceleration correlated with a decrease in hindlimb protraction
angle (A) and an increase in retraction angle (B). The net pitch of the body
(the angle at toe-off minus the angle at toe-down) did not change
significantly (y=0.84x+1.15, r2=0.06,
P=0.10) with increasing acceleration (C). Linear regressions
(N=49) are shown for protraction angle
(y=2.64x+34.36, r2=0.55,
P<0.01) and retraction angle (y=2.92x+18.74,
r2=0.49, P<0.01).
