Abstract
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify the specificity of the effect due to differences in posture by comparing the intervention effect when toe function training was performed with standing and sitting positions. [Subjects and Methods] Healthy male adults without lower limb orthopedic disease or pain were assigned to 20 subjects in each group, and were trained three times a week for four weeks. Toe grip strength, FRT, maximum step length, and long jump were selected as measurement items. [Results] Comparison between before and after the exercise task intervention showed significant differences in toe grip strength, FRT, and maximum step length in both groups, and significant differences in standing long jump only in the standing training group. [Conclusion] The results suggest that toe function training may have specificity depending on the posture.
