Brief Summary
|
The aim of the study is to know the effects of footcore training on intrinsic foot muscle strength and calf flexibility using novel IFM dynamometer and WBLT respectively in novice badminton players. Novice badminton players based on the inclusion criteria will be eligible for the study. A total of 34 participants is the required sample size as calculated by the G power app. After randomization the participants will be grouped into intervention group which is the footcore group and the other being conventional or controlled group. Both the groups will be allotted the exercises after the baseline data is collected for Intrinsic foot muscle strength using the novel IFM dynamometer and weight bearing lunge test for calf flexibility. The intervention lasts for about four weeks with level of progression changed for each week by the end of four weeks the participants will be assessed for the same and analyzed statistically. |
