Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to compare the effects of concentric and eccentric exercises on muscle strength, muscle thickness and balance in healthy Individuals. Participants will randomly be divided into 2 groups: Concentric exercise (CE) group, eccentric exercise (EE) group. Concentric exercise group will be doing 2 concentric exercises and eccentric exercise group will be doing 2 eccentric exercise for 8 weeks. The evaluations will be repeated after 8 weeks of training to reveal the effects of concentric and eccentric exercises.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in muscle thickness [Before training and after 8 weeks of training]
Change in muscle thickness will be measured by using Ultrasound

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in muscle strength [Before training and after 8 weeks of training]
Change in muscle strength will be assessed by using hand-held dynamometer.
Change in balance [Before training and after 8 weeks of training]
Change in balance will be measured by using Biodex Balance System.
Change in function [Before training and after 8 weeks of training]
Change in function will be measured by using single leg hop test
