A medoid is a representative trajectory from the cluster, where the sum of pairwise phase distances between it and other trajectories within the cluster are at a minimum. In females, Type 1 includes 52.2% of the participants, Type 2 includes 34.3%, and Type 3 includes 13.5%. In males, Type 1 includes 53.8% of the participants, Type 2 includes 30.8%, and Type 3 includes 16.5%.
