Abstract
Introduction: Patellofemoral pain is one of the most common orthopedic knee problems in runners. The Pose model is an instructor-led gait training program that aims to modify gait to reduce the risk of injury. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the immediate effect of modifying the running kinematic pattern using the Pose model on kinematic factors associated with patellofemoral pain in runners.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a field trial in which 20 healthy runners were divided into two groups: a control group and a gait retraining group using the Pose method. Running retraining was taught for 30 minutes, and lower limb kinematic variables including trunk angle, contralateral hip drop angle, dynamic knee valgus, knee flexion angle, and ankle dorsiflexion angle were recorded before and after the Pose intervention. SPSS20 software was used to analyze the data.
Results: The results of statistical analysis showed that using the Pose model can improve the running kinematic pattern, so that in the intervention group, the trunk angle on the right side (P<0.01) with an effect size of 0.656, the hip drop angle on the opposite side (P<0.01) with an effect size of 0.737,the dynamic knee valgus on the left side (P<0.02) with an effect size of 0.428 and on the right side (P<0.01) with an effect size of 0.583,and the maximum knee flexion angle on the left side (P<0.01) with an effect size of 0.746 and on the right side (P<0.01) with an effect size of 0.600.
Conclusion: retraining the running pattern using the Pose method as immediate feedback can affect the two-dimensional kinematics of the pelvic girdle and knee joints and improve their performance.

Abstract
The purpose of present study was to examine the effects of short time static and dynamic stretching of muscles on kinematics variability of lower extremity in healthy active males during cycling. 15 physical education and sport sciences male students from Kharazmi University voluntarily participated in this study. Subjects referred to the laboratory during two days, with 48 hours intervals between each sessions, and lower extremity kinematics data were collected from 30 pedaling cycle on the stationary cycle in 70 RPM in situation of without stretching, after 2, 5, and 10 minutes post stretching by means of motion analysis camera in 50 Hz frequency. Hip, knee and ankle joints angular displacement and velocity were extracted for constructing time series and variability calculation. Results of repeated measure ANOVA did not show any significant differences in angular displacement and velocity variability in hip, knee and ankle joints after 2, 5, and 10 minutes post stretching (P>0.05). Regarding results, probably it can be use static and dynamic stretching in warm up programs before cycling or rehabilitation on stationary cycle.

Abstract
Introduction and Objective: Ankle injuries are among the most common sports-related injuries, often caused by factors such as "direct contact with a player or the ground, tackles that push the ankle inward or outward, and during jumping and landing." Among these injuries, lateral ankle sprains are one of the most prevalent types, frequently associated with ankle instability. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of balance training and hopping exercises on the proprioception of athletes with functional ankle instability.
Methods: A total of 30 basketball, volleyball, and handball athletes with functional ankle instability, with a mean age of 24.58 ± 3.626 years and a body mass index (BMI) of 25.681 ± 2.126, were randomly assigned to two groups in a clinical trial. The first group (n=15) performed hopping exercises, while the second group (n=15) performed balance training. Proprioception of their ankle joints was assessed at baseline and after six weeks of training. Data analysis was conducted using paired t-tests and ANCOVA via SPSS version 20.
Results: Both balance training and hopping exercises significantly reduced the absolute error in reconstructing dorsiflexion and plantarflexion angles of the ankle (p<0.05). Additionally, the reduction in absolute error for these angles was significantly greater in the hopping group compared to the balance training group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The findings indicate that both balance training and hopping exercises improve ankle joint proprioception in athletes with functional ankle instability. However, hopping exercises demonstrated greater effectiveness compared to balance training.
