Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Muscle activation of the peroneus longus during landing after one-leg-drop-jump before and after multiple mobilizations (six intervention units) of the foot.<br>The measurement will be carried out with the EMG device NORAXON TeleMyo 2400T G2 and one-way electrodes Ambu® Blue-Sensor.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of the<br>1. Time-to-stabilization during landing after one-leg-drop-jump as a parameter for the postural control before phase 1 and after phase 1 as well as before phase 2 and after phase 2. The TTS values are recorded by means of a force measuring plate (Kistler Quattro Jump, Sindelfingen, Germany), the medial / lateral and the vertical ground reaction force are recorded with a sampling frequency of 1000 Hz, which is used to calculate the TTS.<br>2. Muscle activation of the Tibialis anterior, soleus, gastrognemius, quadriceps femoris, and biceps femoris during landing after one-leg-drop-jump before phase 1 and after Phase 1 and before phase 2 and after phase 2. The measurement will be carried out with the EMG device NORAXON TeleMyo 2400T G2 and one-way electrodes Ambu® Blue-Sensor.<br>3. Reliability measurement of time-to-stabilization in period 1 and period 2.
