| Measure | Time frame |

| Balance. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study (before the start of the intervention) and at the end of the study (6 weeks after the intervention). Method of measurement: Y-Balance Test: The test measures dynamic balance in three directions (anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral). The participant pushes a movable platform with their non-dominant foot while standing on the dominant foot. The reach distance, expressed as a percentage of leg length, is averaged over three attempts. The test shows high reliability for both individual directions and total scores.;Motor Performance (Vertical Jump, Triple Hop, Single-Leg 6-Meter Hop). Timepoint: At the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and at the end of the study (6 weeks after the intervention). Method of measurement: Vertical Jump Test: This test evaluates the explosive power of the lower limbs in the vertical direction. The participant jumps three times, and the distance between the zero point and the highest jump is measured. The average of the three attempts is recorded as the final score. Triple Hop Test: This test assesses the power, speed, balance, and coordination of the lower limbs. The participant performs three consecutive hops with the dominant foot, and the distance from the starting line to the point where the heel touches the ground during the third hop is measured. Single-Leg 6-Meter Hop Test: This test evaluates power, speed, and balance with an emphasis on time. The participant covers a 6-meter distance with consecutive hops as fast as possible. The time taken from the starting line to crossing the finish line is recorded, and the best time from three attempts is considered the final result. | — |
