Participants wanted for the ProSense study

Proprioception is defined as the perception of joint and body movement and position in space. Among other things, it affects balance, the fluidity of movement, and the risk of injury.

The study includes one, about 2 h measurement visit to the Sports and Health Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä (Rautpohjankatu 8). The visit includes measurement of maximal voluntary contraction of the calf muscles, four different proprioceptive tests, 10-15 minutes fatiguing exercise and measurement of the body composition (InBody).
