Resistance training induces changes in thigh muscle peak torque
The mean difference and pre-to-post changes of PT in knee extension and flexion are depicted in Fig. The paired mean difference for PT in EXP and CONT group are shown in the above Cumming estimation plot. The raw data is plotted on the upper axes; each paired set of observations for each participant from PRE to POST is connected by a line. Blue lines indicate POST minus PRE > 0 whereas orange lines indicate POST minus PRE < 0. On the lower axes, each paired mean difference is plotted as a bootstrap sampling distribution. Mean differences are depicted as dots in the Gaussian curve and 95% confidence intervals are indicated by the ends of the vertical error bars. The effect sizes and CIs are reported at the bottom as: mean difference [CI width lower bound, upper bound]. Abbreviations: PT, peak torque; EXP, experimental group; CONT, control groupUpon visual inspection, we observed that some of the participants in the experimental group showed a decrease in knee extension (
