The Effect of Different Focusing Methods on Muscle Activity

The Effect of Different Focusing Methods on Muscle Activity During The Single Leg Squat Movement

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of different focusing methods on muscular activity

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

Inclusion Criteria:

• Being between the ages of 18-25
• Having a Body Mass Index between 18.5-24.9

Exclusion Criteria:

• Having trauma/surgery involving the lower extremity in the last 6 months or having any disorder affecting hip and knee muscle function
• Foot Posture Index score not being between 0 and +5
• Hamstring Flexibility- Sit and Reach Test score greater than +5 cm
• Restricted ankle dorsiflexion angle (It will be expected to be at least 5 degrees more than neutral)
