The Effect of Strength Training and Strength-Agility Training on Knee Proprioception in Normal Collegiate Males
Journal Title: Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Journal - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
The objective of this pre test post test experimental study design was to find out the effect of strength training and strengthagility training on knee joint proprioception in normal collegiate males. Fourty five study participants participated in the study. They were randomly allocated into 3 groups of 15 participants each on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria.i.e. group1 strength training, group2 strengthagility training and group3 control group. The training in the strength training group consisted of Leg press and Lunges exercises. In the strengthagility training group consisted of Leg press, Lunges and Changeofdirection sprints exercises. In the control group no exercise was given.The outcome measures were knee joint proprioception. The betweengroup comparisons at the end of the training showed that maximal proprioception gain was in group 2 (strengthagility training) specifically at an angle of 450 . Although the gain at 150 was also statistically significant but it was comparatively less as compared to the gain at 450 . The results of the study suggested that strengthagility training is more effective than strength training to improve proprioception in knee joint.
