This study investigated the effects of isometric exercises applied to the quadriceps and hamstring muscles at different knee joint angles on balance, joint position sense, and functional performance in healthy individuals. Thirty participants aged 20-30 years were randomized into four groups and performed an eight-week training program, three times per week. Outcome measures included the Y Balance Test, digital goniometer assessments for joint position sense, and functional performance tests (stair climb and 30-second sit-to-stand). The results aim to identify which knee joint angles are most effective for improving neuromuscular function and may guide future rehabilitation and training protocols.
