Brief Summary

Dominant leg use in badminton may contribute to lower limb asymmetry, potentially affecting performance and injury risk. This study investigated the effects of a 12-week integrated neuromuscular training (NMT) program on sport performance in 24 well-trained male badminton players, grouped by maturation status (pre- and post-peak height velocity; n = 12 each). All participants completed two NMT sessions weekly. Pre- and post-training assessments included 20-m sprint, countermovement jump (CMJ), agility T-test, hexagon test, and Y-balance test.

Detailed Description

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of integrated NMT on lower extremity sports performance in pre-PHV and post-PHV male badminton players. A parallel, two-group, stratified randomized controlled design was employed. The intervention lasted 12 weeks, with two sessions per week. All dependent variables were assessed at baseline and after 12 weeks. Following the training period, participants completed sport-specific performance tests, including the 20-m linear sprint, countermovement jump, agility T-test, hexagon test, and Y-balance test.Twenty-four well-trained male badminton players with a mean age of 13.5 ± 1.15 years participated in this study . The results of this study underscore the importance of maturation status in determining how youth athletes respond to integrated NMT interventions.
