Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Maximum isokinetic force and force development rate of knee extensor and flexor muscles. Timepoint: Before and after the intervention (Exercise training). Method of measurement: The maximum isokinetic force as well as the rate of force development will be measured using the Biodex isokinetic dynamometer when performing knee flexion and extension tasks.;Neuromuscular efficiency. Timepoint: Before and after the intervention (Exercise training). Method of measurement: Using the surface electromyogram of the knee extensor and flexor muscles during the isometric maximum strength test of knee extension and flexion.;Explosive power of lower body muscles. Timepoint: Before and after the intervention (Exercise training). Method of measurement: Using the Sargent vertical jump test on the Ergo-jump machine. | — |
