Mean value kinetic parameters recorded were: (1) peak vertical force (PVF) [N\/kg]\/peak vertical pressure (PVP) [N\/kg]; (2) vertical impulse (AUC) [Nms\/kg]; (3) peak loading rate (PLR) [N\/ms]; (4) stance duration (StD) [ms] and (5) time of peak vertical force (TPVF) [%stance]\/time of peak vertical pressure (TPVP) [%stance].
