Multiple Choice

A simple contrast was performed between the barefoot (BF) strike and the basic sole (BS) strike and barefoot strike with the cushioned sole (CS) strike. The results were as follows, but how would you interpret them? F_(1,14) = 98.28, p < .001, = .88 (BS vs. BF)
F_(1,14) = 141.13, p < .001, = .91 (CS vs. BF)

• A) Both the BS and CS conditions yielded significantly lower force strikes when compared with the BF condition.
• B) Both the BS and CS conditions yielded significantly higher force strikes when compared with the BF condition.
• C) The results between the three conditions were not significantly different.
• D) The CS condition yielded significantly lower force strikes when compared with the BF condition, but the BS produced a significantly greater force strike than the BF condition.
