SLS values of males and females, after dividing BMI into tertiles. Significant difference were found in the BMI tertiles (P < 0.01 and P = 0.02 for males and females, respectively). SLS values are consistently lower in females. Females and males with higher BMI values have greater difficulty maintaining single limb loads. This is illustrated by the decreased SLS values in both genders as BMI increases.
