Effects of core stability and balance training on balance and proprioception.
Design
Subjects will be randomized to one of two training groups : 1.Core-stability training, 2. Balance training.
Randomized double-blind randomized clinical trial on 20 female athletes.
Settings and conduct
Participants are selected from the female soccer player referred to the Kermanshah sports gyms. In the first session, personal information is recorded. There is a physiotherapist who is not aware of the results of the evaluations. Blinding is performed on participants, examiners, and therapist. Group assignments and interventions are performed by a physiotherapist who is not aware of the results of the evaluations.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
Female gender
Aged between 20 and 30 years

Intervention groups
Subjects will be divided into two groups of:
1:Core-stability training group : The protocol consist of 3 progressive levels of exercises focusing on strengthening the abdominal low-back, and pelvic muscles.
2.Balance training group: progressive with open or closed eyes on the double legs or single leg.
Main outcome variables
Dynamic balance, knee proprioception.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
According to the number of participants in each group, the type of training is written on a piece of paper as " core stability training" or " balance training" and placed in envelopes. Randomly removes one of the envelopes and practice the participant based on the type of the training specified in it. And the envelops are mixed again.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The study will be double-blinded. The participants will be blind to the type of
intervention in relation to their training group as well as the researcher who must enter the data into the relevant checklist.

Primary outcomes
1
Description
Knee proprioception
Timepoint
Pretest: one week before the beginning of the training program Posttest: immediately after the conclusion of the 6-week program.
Method of measurement
JPST values will be done by using camera, skin markers and computer software (photogrammetry). this test starts with the subjects in a seated position while the leg is resting at 90u of flexion. The examiner passively extend the leg at a rate of 10u/s, starting from 90u, to an index angle between 30u and 60u of flexion.
Secondary outcomes
1
Description
Dynamic balance
Timepoint
Pretest: one week before the beginning of the training program Posttest: immediately after the conclusion of the 6-week program.
Method of measurement
MSEBT: the subject balance on the dominant leg in the center of a star-pattern testing area. Before performing the test, a leg-length measurement is taken to normalize reach distance to leg length. Each subject will be then instructed to reach with the non-weight-bearing leg as far as she could in each of the 3 directions while maintaining single-leg stance
Intervention groups
1
Description
participants will be randomized to one of two training groups. 1) core stability training group 2) balance training group. The protocol for the core stabilization training program is 3 progressive levels of exercises focusing on strengthening the abdominal low-back, and pelvic muscles while maintaining neuromuscular control. The sets and repetitions and holding times for each exercise for each week are fixed at 3 sets of 20 seconds for isometric holding activities and 20 repetitions for activities with isotonic contractions. Subjects in the intervention group 2 perform a 5-phase balance training program.
