Answer 7

 

  • For muscle soreness 0.9mm (95% confidence intervals -2.6mm to + 4.4mm) i.e. each side of zero so no significant difference.
  • For incidence of injury 0.95 (95% confidence intervals 0.78 to 1.16) i.e. either side of 1 so no significant difference.
  • (NB - the muscle soreness outcome is an absolute risk difference so 0 is the no significant difference point whereas incidence of injury is a ratio so 1 is the no significant difference point.)
