Plyometric Training Group
Control Group
Individuals in the plyometric training group will receive plyometric training. In this training, individuals will not participate in a real plyometric training. Volunteers will watch videos to be prepared (action observation) and imagine them performing those exercises (motor imagery). Except for one session that will be applied every two weeks, all other trainings will be given on the basis of telerehabilitation via distance education tools.
Volunteers in this group will not participate in any training.
