Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Unipedal Stance Test

  It is a static balance test. For the test, participants are asked to stand on their chosen foot; the other foot is lifted (it should be close to but not touching the ankle on the floor), while the arms are positioned diagonally across the chest. You are told to focus on a point at eye level during the test. When the participant lifts his feet off the ground, time calculation begins using a stopwatch. The time calculation ends when the participant does one of the following: Uses arms (i.e. does not cross arms), uses lifted foot, moves weight-bearing foot to maintain balance. The process is repeated 3 times and the best of 3 attempts is recorded. A 5-minute rest is allowed between each set of trials to prevent fatigue.There is no maximum minimum wage.

  6 weeks

• Agility T Test

  The T test consists of 4 contact points formed in a T shape in an area of 10m length and 10m width. The aim is to complete a series that requires the subject to move in different directions and in different ways between these contact points in the shortest time possible. The difference between this test and other agility tests is that the subject always looks in the same direction. It changes direction by sliding steps to the right and left or by running backwards. This test requires two 900° and 1800° turns, as well as 10m forward, 10m right, 10m left and 10m back, for a total distance of 40m. The subjects' toes are placed just behind the line, their feet are at normal range, they are parallel to the ground, their arms are in front, their knees are bent, they jump as far as they can with the arms swinging, and both feet touch the ground at the same time. The test is repeated twice and the athletes' best distance is recorded in meters.There is no maximum minimum wage.

Interventions

taping OTHER

Kinesiology taping; In order to facilitate the muscle, while the subject is standing and his body is flexed to ensure hip flexion, both "I" bands will be applied from the origin to the insertion, with 30% stretching from the medial and lateral, starting from the Ischial Tuberositas to the border of the Popliteal Fossa.

Control OTHER

The routine training program will continue without intervention.

control

mobilization OTHER

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization; The subject is in a prone position on a bed, with the lower extremity in a neutral position, and a hazelnut-sized amount of lubricant will be applied to the working surface, and will be applied to the skin on the back of the upper leg for 5 minutes, targeting the tissue structures. (Hamstring and deep fascia covering this muscle) Pressure and speed will be adjusted according to the subject's tolerance so as not to cause pain.
