Study aim
-
Comparison of the effect of eight weeks plyometric training program on different levels on balance, strength and functional movement of lower extremity non-athletic girls with ankle sprain
-
Design
-
Subjects were divided into 3 groups of 10 control, experimental hopping and experimental dip jump. Subjects will be selected after completing the Cumberland Ankle Functional Instability Questionnaire form.
-
Settings and conduct
-
Eight weeks of plyometric training is provided with both the Hoping and Deep Jump training protocols at the gym. Then, to evaluate the subjects before and after the training period, the Y balance tests were used to evaluate the balance, vertical jump test was used to evaluate the low explosive power of the trunk, and the tri-leap, lateral jump and 8-jump jump tests. The lower extremity motor function of subjects is used.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Entry requirements: Non-participation in sports for the past 2 years, age range between 18-30 years and ankle sprain experience in the past six months
Exclusion criteria: Physician's diagnosis of non-jumping exercises, injuries other than ankle sprains, other lower extremity injuries
-
Intervention groups
-
Intervention groups included control group, Hoping group and Deep jump group.Eight weeks of Hoping Exercise 3 sessions per week with a range of 70 to 130 foot contact volume training in the Hoping Experimental group, and eight weeks of Deep Jump training and 3 sessions of 1 hour per week for the Deep Jump Experimental group. . The control group will start their daily life during these eight weeks.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Both exercises may improve balance, strength, and lower extremity motor function, and may be used to rehabilitate and improve ankle sprains and return to daily activities.
