Table 4

Results of linear regressions through the origin (zero intercept) of both Z-transformed values of stride frequency (SFR) and relative stride length (RSL). The angular coefficients (b), their respective standard errors (SE), and values are shown with the coefficients of determination ( ) and the Spearman correlation coefficients ( ). Sample size is for each substrate and for all substrates pooled. Only WOOD × SAND ( , ) resulted in a significant pairwise contrast among slopes for different substrates.
