4.2.1 Quantitative Measures
Effect of walking on reading speed. The reading speed measured in words per minute decreased by 18.6% when walking compared to the standing condition (see Figure 12). A dependent t-test between the control condition stand/small ( M = 190.12, SE = 12.40) and the condition walk/small ( M = 154.69, SE = 11.77) shows a significant main effect of movement on reading speed, t(15) = 2.95, p = .01, r = .61.
