Brief summary (from the registry)
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine and compare the effects of balance and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training on ankle function ability, functional instability severity, physical activity level, muscle strength, proprioception, stabilization, balance, reaction time and performance of amateur athletes with chronic ankle instability. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do balance and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training positively affect functionality, balance, stabilization, proprioception and performance in amateur athletes with chronic ankle sprains? * Does balance training or dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training have a more positive effect on functionality, balance, stabilization, proprioception and performance in amateur athletes with chronic ankle sprains? Participants will apply: * a dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training program consisting of a series of special exercises based on the developmental kinesiology steps of a healthy baby. * balance training which consist of an effective postural stability program. * conventional training program which consist of stretching, joint range of motion, strengthening and postural control exercises. Researchers will compare balance and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training to see if effectiveness of ankle function ability, functional instability severity, physical activity level, muscle strength, proprioception, stabilization, balance, reaction time and performance.
