Descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation coefficients of parameters obtained during ES1. Data are expressed as mean ± SD except for reported as median ± IQR. : time to complete the 20-metre sprint test; : functional classification score; : upper arms peak power output; : push cycle duration; : push cycle frequency; : peak progression force; : bilateral symmetry index; : coefficient of variation of the push cycle duration; : coefficient of variation of the peak progression force; : coefficient of variation of the bilateral symmetry index.
