Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to examine changes in agility and athletic performance of high school basketball players following a coach-led neuromuscular training program. Outcomes were measured at pre- and post-season data collection sessions. Additionally, player attendance and warm-up adherence was self recorded by coaches.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study recruited high school basketball teams from the greater New York City area. Coaches from the participating teams were trained to implement a neuromuscular training program to their players at the start of a warm-up prior to all practices and games for the duration of their basketball season (10-14 weeks). At pre-season and post-season data collection sessions, players completed agility and movement quality testing. Agility was measured by the Lane Agility Test (LAT) and movement quality testing was measured through completing a series of single leg squats. The single leg squats were recorded and analyzed using a previously scoring criteria (Di Paolo et al. 2024). After videos were analyzed, players were given an overall movement quality score using the scoring criteria.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Neuromuscular Training Programming

Coaches implemented neuromuscular training at the start of all warm-ups for practices and games.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Neuromuscular Training

Intervention Type OTHER

Coaches implemented neuromuscular training at the start of all warm-ups for practices and games. The neuromuscular training program was developed by sports medicine professionals at the home institution and the National Basketball Association and incorporates established principles of motor learning and performance training and has an added emphasis of being basketball-specific.
