Outcome measures testing procedures

Isometric strength (IS) test: An ISOMOVE dynamometer (ISO-MANSW-IT; Tecnobody, Dalmine (BG), Italy), software version 0.0.1, was used to measure the isometric maximum peak torque of the quadriceps muscle of the dominant side. For research and clinical uses, isokinetic dynamometers offer mechanically reliable and valid measures of velocity, position, and torqueSprint test (ST): It is a reliable (ICC = 0.95–0.98) and valid test for measuring the performance of speed Single-leg triple hop test (SLTH): In clinical populations, it has been found that the SLTH is both valid and reliable (ICC = 0.97, SEM = 11.17 cm)Intervention: The training in PTG and STG was conducted at the same time of the day, i.e., in the evening. Each participant underwent a 15-min standardized warm-up, which included 8–10 min of running, jogging, and stretching exercises for 5–6 min. Interventions in both groups were required to perform three sessions per week on alternate days for eight weeks.
