The Effects of Neuromuscular Training on Limits of Stability in Female Individuals
This study examined the effects of neuromuscular
training (NT) on limits of stability (LOS) in female individuals.
Twenty female basketball amateurs were assigned into NT
experimental group or control group by volunteer. All the players were
underwent regular basketball practice, 90 minutes, 3 times per week
for 6 weeks, but the NT experimental group underwent extra NT with
plyometric and core training, 50 minutes, 3 times per week for 6 weeks
during this period. Limits of stability (LOS) were evaluated by the
Biodex Balance System. One factor ANCOVA was used to examine
the differences between groups after training. The significant level for
statistic was set at p<.05. Results showed that the right direction LOS
scores at level 3 indicated a significant interaction between the
trained/untrained groups × pre/post repeated measures with
post-training scores higher than pre-training scores in the NT
experimental group. The study demonstrated that Six weeks NT can
improve the postural stability in young female individuals.
