Post hoc analyses revealed that MEN resulted in significantly reduced EMG activity during laps 3, 4, and 5 for the VL compared to PLA, whereas no laps showed a significant difference between MEN and PLA for RF, except for a trend toward significance in lap 5 ( p = 0.053).

VL showed a trend toward a main effect of condition ( p = 0.057), with lower activation in MEN.

an overall trendp = 0.57not close (p > 0.1)

While there appears to be an overall trend towards lower EMG activity in the menthol trials ( p = 0.57 in VL), no muscles differed significantly when assessed independently across conditions.
