a An overview of the eleven skin-marker model that will be implemented using a snapshot of the QTM program. Point (A) indicates the fifth metatarsal of the distal foot. Point (B) illustrates the apex of the lateral malleolus of the fibula. Point (C) displays the lateral condyle of the femur. Point (D) indicates the femoral greater trochanter. Point (E) displays the anterior superior iliac spine. Point (F) demonstrates the sacrum. The force plates will provide dynamic data from take-off, which will enable QTM software to calculate the maximal velocity and acceleration in the hip (EDC) and knee (BCE) joints. b Study Overview. Each participant will be asked to complete the PAR-Q and GPPAQ questionnaires, and 50–150 µl of blood will be drawn from their fingertips. Then, participants’ blood pressure, height, and weight will be measured for BMI calculation. A warm-up session consisting of stretching will be subsequently conducted, followed by the familiarization phase
