Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of different focusing methods on muscular activity
Detailed Description
After the first data collecting ( Demographic data, Inclusion criteria) surface electromyography EMG evaluations will be taken from 6 muscles( Vastus Medialis, Rectus Femoris, Vastus Lateralis, Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosus, Gluteus Medius). These recordings will be taken in 3 different circumstances: 1- Without a focusing method 2- With an external focus and 3- With an internal focus
