Subjects were randomly assigned to either proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) group or mental practice (MP) group. PNF group: 30 individuals, these subjects received only PNF training. MP: 30 individuals, these subjects received MP. training program has been administered for every group for 12 sessions over 4 weeks with 3 x 45 min training sessions per week. Pre-post test design was used. EMG device was used to measure the electrical activity of muscles. Measurements conducted at pre-intervention, during intervention and post-intervention testing with 20 days.
