Teens	6	15 (1.3); range 13–16	60.3 (8.2); range 45.4–66.7	173.1 (8.2); range 162–183.5	84.8 (5.3); range 77–91.5
Adults	5	22.0 (1.9); range 19–24	65.2 (4.6); range 59.0–71.2	182.3 (2.8); range 180–186	87.4 (2.3); range 84–90

Figure 1. Mean (SD) of AEB (right) and MEB (left) vehicle acceleration used in this study. The steady-state phase was defined for each trial and was based on the vehicle acceleration profile. The 2 dashed lines define the boundaries of the steady-state phase ad the black line represents the onset of the maneuver (i.e., maneuver start).

Figure 2. Mean (SD) of EMG represented as a percentage of muscle activation in the static trial of mean EMG in repetition 1 (top graphs) and repetition 2 (bottom graphs) in MEB.
