*: P <0.05; F forward phase time, OSFS, obstacle SFS Single leg forward step, R returning phase time, SD, standard deviation, SFS single leg forward step, T the time of steps. The tripping group had significantly larger results in the OHC, OSFS-T and OSFS-F than the non-tripping group, and the effect size of the OHC was very large (ES: 1.26).
