“…Clinical, sub-clinical, and control groups improved their dynamic balance control during the 8-week intervention, suggesting that training is an important aspect of enhancing postural control and agility performance in physically active people across the lifespan. It has been shown earlier that sensorimotor training can improve the rate of force development [11], which is an important characteristic in good and efficient balance control [27,28]. In the present study, we did not measure any force production properties, but the decreased agility test time in both groups indicates that some neuromuscular changes occurred.…”

“…Participants were next ranked from lowest to highest based on the dynamic balance centre of pressure (COP) area (mm 2 ) observed during a 1-minute assessment, which consisted of implementing eight balance perturbations in the anterior and posterior direction. COP area was chosen as the dependent variable, because it is a common measure reported in the balance literature [27,28], is available immediately after recording, and did not need any further data analysis. Thereafter, participants were divided into two groups based on initial COP area results (highest to lowest) and 50% were randomly allocated to the test group and 50% to the control group.…”

“…In addition, plyometric training contributes to the development of physical performance (Piirainen, J. M., et al, 2014) In this study, the average of the flexibility for the experimental group's pre test was 26.73 ± 7,09 cm, and the average of the post-test was 28,60 ± 7,17 cm. The average of the flexibility for the control group's pre test was 19.66 ± 10.80 cm, and the average of the post-test was 18.86 ± 10.72 cm.…”

“…Lack of tendon adaptation after plyometric training as compared to that after strength training may suggest that in addition to high loading magnitude, a high loading duration per contraction is required for tendon adaptation, as suggested also by Arampatzis et al (2010) and Kubo et al (2001). In addition, it can be argued that since tendon stiffness is closely related to strength level , calf muscle strength may not have changed much with hopping training (Kyrolainen et al 2005;Piirainen et al 2014) and therefore also the stiffness remains unchanged. On the other hand, it must be noted here that the GaM outer tendon was measured in the present study, whereas most of the studies have measured the combined stiffness of the tendon-aponeurosis structure (e.g.…”
