To verify the effectiveness of STU and STS for measures of muscle strength, power and balance, we computed withinsubject standardized mean differences as SMDw = (mean pre-test value mean post-test value)/standard deviation pre-test value, and between-subject standardized mean differences as SMDb = (mean post-test value in intervention group mean post-test value in control group)/pooled variance...
