Brief Summary: AIM

Strengthening and sensorimotor training eg with the aim to improve balance are widely used in rehabilitation There is little knowledge about the best ways to combine strengthening and sensorimotor training Therefore the investigators want to evaluate two types of combinations in healthy participants

Interventions

Group A 1 warm-up 2 sensorimotor training 3 strength training nine sessions in four weeks
Group B 1 warm-up 2 one strengthening exercise followed by a sensorimotor exercise alternating nine sessions in four weeks

Tests Before first training and after four weeks

isokinetic test of knee extensors and flexors 60s 120s 180s 240s
squat jumps and countermovement jumps
static balance test on an unstable underground measured with accelerometer
dynamic balance star excursion balance test a on stable ground b on unstable ground Balance tests will be performed c in recovered state and d fatigue ie after a fatiguing exercise

Hypotheses

1 Group B alternating sensorimotor and strength exercises will improve more in the balance tests than Group A sensorimotor first strength afterwards
2 Group B will improve more in the countermovement jump than Group A
3 There will be no differences in the improvements in the strength power and squat jump tests between the two groups
