Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Quadriceps flexibility. Timepoint: In two stages pre-test and after applying the desired intervention in the post-test. Method of measurement: The flexibility of the quadriceps will be measured with the Alley test. The participants will lie prone and the evaluator will place a plastic goniometer on the participants knee. The fixed arm of the ruler will be positioned in line with the greater trochanter of the femur, the movable arm will be positioned in line with the lateral ankle. The pelvis will be prevented from lifting off the floor while the knee is flexed. The average of the two measurements will be recorded as the standard.;Hamstring flexibility. Timepoint: In two stages pre-test and after applying the desired intervention in the post-test. Method of measurement: The knee extension angle test is performed to measure hamstring flexibility with the participants lying on their back with both legs in full knee extension. The participants hip and knee are flexed to 90 degrees and the opposite leg is fixed to the bed. Clinically, the endpoint is reached when the examiner feels slight resistance or the subject reports a strong but tolerable stretch in the hamstring muscle. The goniometer is placed on the participants knee, with the fixed arm at maximum knee extension and the other arm in line with the lateral ankle.;Agility. Timepoint: In two stages pre-test and after applying the desired intervention in the post-test. Method of measurement: The T-test is used to measure the agility of individuals. This test will be performed in such a way that four marks are placed on the ground in the form of a T and the participants will stand behind the initial mark. Then, with the whistle, he will run 10 yards towards the opposite mark and then change direction to the left and go 5 yards in a footbox manner towards the next mark. After reaching the next mark, he will go 10 yards to the right of the footbox and after touching the 5-yard mark, he will go to the left of the footbo
