About this study

After the first data collecting ( Demographic data, Inclusion criteria) surface electromyography EMG evaluations will be taken from 6 muscles( Vastus Medialis, Rectus Femoris, Vastus Lateralis, Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosus, Gluteus Medius). These recordings will be taken in 3 different circumstances: 1- Without a focusing method 2- With an external focus and 3- With an internal focus

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Being between the ages of 18-25
  • Having a Body Mass Index between 18.5-24.9

Exclusion criteria

  • Having trauma/surgery involving the lower extremity in the last 6 months or having any disorder affecting hip and knee muscle function
  • Foot Posture Index score not being between 0 and +5
  • Hamstring Flexibility- Sit and Reach Test score greater than +5 cm
  • Restricted ankle dorsiflexion angle (It will be expected to be at least 5 degrees more than neutral)
