Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Joint Position Sense was measured using electrogoniometer before and after the training programs 2. muscle activity of the lower limb muscles was measured using a surface EMG system (Myomonitor, Delsys Inc., Boston, USA) before and after the training programs 3. The adjusting time parameter during single-leg medial drop landing was measured using the Kistler force platform (Type 9281B, Kistler Instrument Corp., Winterhur, Switzerland) before and after the training programs | — |
