Reference

     
  1. “Extremely” to be added to all anchors in the Likert scale, e.g., 1 extremely likely–7 extremely unlikely. A value of 7 is the reference for all variables with a Likert scale. Dependent variable: If my team uses Knee Control next season, I think it is… (1 bad–7 good). The multiple analyses are adjusted for sex. Variables with p < 0.10 in the simple analyses were included in the multiple analyses. Only variables with p < 0.10 in the multiple analyses are reported in the table.
