简要总结
This randomized controlled trial investigates the comparative effect of combined strength and balance training versus balance and core training on kinesiophobia (fear of movement), ankle instability, functional outcomes, and athletic performance in adolescent table tennis players with functional ankle instability (FAI). Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups over a 6-week intervention (3 sessions/week). The Experimental Group will receive combined strength and balance training, while the Control Group will receive balance and core training. Outcomes will be measured using validated tools: TSK-17, CAIT, FAAM, Y-Balance Test, Single-Leg Hop Test, T-Test, and Illinois Agility Test.

盲法说明
The outcome assessor performing pre- and post-intervention measurements will be blinded to group allocation. Participants and the treating physiotherapist cannot be blinded due to the nature of the exercise intervention

结局指标
主要结局
Kinesiophobia - Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-17)
时间窗: Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 6)
17-item self-report questionnaire measuring fear of movement and re-injury. Good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.70-0.86) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.72-0.90). Reduced scores indicate decreased kinesiophobia.
Ankle Instability - Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT)
时间窗: Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 6)
Validated questionnaire assessing functional ankle instability severity. Excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.96) and internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.83). Increased post-intervention scores indicate improved perceived ankle stability
次要结局
- Functional Ability - Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)(Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 6))
- Dynamic Balance - Y Balance Test (YBT)(Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 6))
- Functional Performance - Single-Leg Hop Test(Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 6))
- Agility and Performance - T-Test and Illinois Agility Test(Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 6))
