Figure 5

The relative contribution of the lumbar spine to the total trunk ROM ( %ROM LU variable), illustrated in different plots to understand the SEX × CONDITION (upper plots), SEX × INTERVAL (middle plots) and CONDITION × INTERVAL (lower plots) interactions. P values reported at the top of each plot correspond to the shown interaction. Left and right plots are for the flexion and extension phases, respectively. Please keep in mind that the extension interval values were inverted to allow comparisons with the flexion phase intervals. Experimental conditions (upper plots) or intervals (middle plot) that were different (P < 0.05) are identified with different letters (here A, B and sometimes C) at the bottom of the corresponding graphs. When the interaction was significant, asterisks (*) were positioned to indicate where SEX differences for a specific interval (right middle plot) or CONDITION differences for a specific interval (lower plots) were significant according to post hoc analyses. C1 (control): no LB; C2 (ExtLB): extensible LB without panels; C3 (ExtLB-D): extensible LB with dorsal panel; C4 (ExtLB-DV): extensible LB with dorsal and ventral panels; C5 (NExtLB): non-extensible LB. Standard deviations were not shown for clarity.
