– Active movement of the lower extremity (flexion, abduction, and external-internal rotation of hip; flexion and extension of knees; dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of ankles)

– Trunk rotation

– Training weight-shifting and weight-bearing

– Training balance

Penalty and goalkeeper

The usage of lower extremities, head, neck, and trunk while standing and kicking a ball in a virtual soccer field is practiced.

– Active movement of the lower extremities (flexion, abduction, and external-internal rotation of hip; flexion and extension of knees; dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of ankles)

– Training weight-shifting and weight-bearing
