Effect of Plyometric versus Ankle Stability Exercises on Lower Limb Biomechanics in Taekwondo Demonstration Athletes with Functional Ankle Instability.

Background: This study aimed to compare the effects of plyometric and ankle stability exercises on the dynamic balance and lower limb kinematic and kinetic parameters of Taekwondo demonstration athletes with functional ankle instability.

Methods: Fourteen subjects participated in this study and were randomly divided into two groups: a plyometric exercise group ( = 7) and an ankle stability exercise group ( = 7). Exercises were performed twice a week for 8 weeks.

An Efficient Method for In Vitro Shoot-Tip Culture and Sporophyte Production Using Spring Sporophyte.

, an evergreen perennial fern that is native to South America and New Zealand, is named "frosty fern" because of its beautiful white-colored leaves and it is used as an ornamental plant. Efficient propagation methods for this species have not been developed. We aimed to develop an efficient propagation method for through in vitro culture.
