Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Female handball athletes are at a particular risk of sustaining lower extremity injuries. The study examines time-dependent adaptations of static and dynamic balance as potential injury risk factors to a specific warm-up program focusing on neuromuscular control.
