164 Contraction Coordination. The contraction coordination values are shown for all cycle phases in Table 6.6. MSE showed a significant difference across the cycle phases, with a significantly (p=0.011) reduced coordination of contractions during the late follicular phase compared to the menstrual and late luteal phases. Further coordination parameters did not differ significantly between cycle phases (see appendix 6B). Table 6.6.
