- All data are represented as median (interquartile range). The paired permutation test is used to compare the differences between two pedal stages. The mark † indicates that the middle or late stage variable is significantly different from its early-stage value (p < 0.05/3). The mark ‡ indicates that the late-stage variable is significantly different from its middle-stage value (p < 0.05/3).
