A sports science study investigates the impact of two different warm-up protocols on the dynamic balance of gymnasts. Dynamic balance is assessed using a standardised balance index, where scores range from 0 to 100 (a higher score indicates superior balance control). The lowest score recorded in the study was 22 and the highest score was 95.
| Protocol A (Active dynamic stretching) | Protocol B (Static stretching) | |
|---|---|---|
| Mean balance score | 78.4 | 61.2 |
In this study, the balance scores are initially treated as interval data.
Explain how you could convert the balance scores from this study into:
ordinal data
nominal data
