Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
1. Joint Position Sense was measured using electrogoniometer before and after the training programs<br>2. muscle activity of the lower limb muscles was measured using a surface EMG system (Myomonitor, Delsys Inc., Boston, USA) before and after the training programs<br>3. The adjusting time parameter during single-leg medial drop landing was measured using the Kistler force platform (Type 9281B, Kistler Instrument Corp., Winterhur, Switzerland) before and after the training programs
