Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Functional movement screening (FMS): all participants will perform seven FMS tasks, instructed by a FMS-trained, licensed physical therapist, and be videotaped for scoring. The seven movement tasks are: deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, shoulder mobility, active straight leg raise, trunk stability push-up, rotatory stability. [Immediately after the history taking.];The muscle activity of the lower extremity major muscles will be assessed using an 8-channel FM/FM Telemetric electromyography (EMG) system (Telemyo 900, Noraxon USA, Inc., AZ, USA) during the FMS tasks (deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge).The target muscles are gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, quadriceps, hamstrings, tibialis anterior, soleus, and fibularis longus.[Immediately after the history taking and after 4-week training.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Muscle strength of the lower extremity will record by a hand-held dynanometer in both lower extremities. [After the FMS evaluation and after 4-week training. ];Joint range of motion of the lower extremity measured by hand-held goniometer in both lower extremities[After the FMS muscle strength evaluation and after 4-week training. ]
