Journal Title: Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: The participation of children and adolescents in the practice of physical activities and sports has increased in the recent decades. The practice of sports provides benefits to cardiopulmonary, musculoskeletal and endocrine systems. Sports leads to improvements in motor skills and daily habits as well as the acquisition of dexterity, exerting an influence on the social and psychological aspects of practitioners. Unfortunately, increased intensity and volume of sport practice lead to a higher rate of acute and overuse injuries. For the young athlete, the consequences of sports injuries could be numerous, ranging from re-injury to career-ending. Hence this study was carried to find out the effect of neuromuscular training program in athletes. Objective: To find effects of Neuromuscular training program on young adolescent athletes. Materials and Methods: 30 athletes were assessed with Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) and put through Neuromuscular training program for 4 weeks. Pre-post data was collected and analyzed with paired T test. The analysis suggested extremely significant effect of neuromuscular training program with p value <0.0001 in participants. Result: There was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test values of the athletes. Conclusion: The Neuromuscular Training Program is effective in improving dynamic balance in young adolescent athletes.
