Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After meeting the eligibility criteria for the study, university athletes have their general athletic condition variables evaluated in the laboratory and in the field. Subsequently, athletes with high and low arches perform 12-week foot muscle strengthening exercises to re-evaluate the variables in both athletes with high and low arch types who performed the strengthening exercises, as well as those with neutral arch who did not perform the exercises.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

After initial measurements of dependent variables (electromyographic activity amplitude of core muscles, static stability, dynamic stability, ergospirometry, countermovement jump, and 40m sprint test), athletes are divided into two groups: 1) Case group, which is further classified into (a) athletes with high arched feet and (b) athletes with flat feet, and 2) Control group, consisting of athletes with neutral feet. The case group performs intrinsic and extrinsic foot muscle strengthening exercises for 12 weeks, while the control group does not engage in these exercises. Following intervention, both case and control groups are re-evaluated in dependent variables to conduct pre-post intervention variable comparisons.
