Abstract

 The objective of this pre test post test experimental study design was to find out the effect of strength training and strength­agility training on knee joint proprioception in normal collegiate males. Fourty five study participants participated in the study. They were randomly allocated into 3 groups of 15 participants each on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria.i.e. group1­ strength training, group2­ strength­agility training and group3­ control group. The training in the strength training group consisted of Leg press and Lunges exercises. In the strength­agility training group consisted of Leg press, Lunges and Change­of­direction sprints exercises. In the control group no exercise was given.The outcome measures were knee joint proprioception. The between­group comparisons at the end of the training showed that maximal proprioception gain was in group 2 (strength­agility training) specifically at an angle of 450 . Although the gain at 150 was also statistically significant but it was comparatively less as compared to the gain at 450 . The results of the study suggested that strength­agility training is more effective than strength training to improve proprioception in knee joint.
