Significant biomechanical variables with changes in running step rate. Note: Changes in running step rate are provided in brackets next to each biomechanical variable (e.g. + 10% = 10% increase in habitual running step rate). Effect size of change is indicated by the colour of the text used to note the percentage change in running step rate (e.g. + 10% in red = small effect size with a 10% increase in habitual running step rate; orange = medium effect size; green = large effect size).
