Effect of Integrative Neuromuscular Training on Sport Performance and Injury Prevention of Female Athletes

This paper used a longitudinal and pretest-posttest design to quantify the effect of neuromuscular training on the improvement of motor performance and prevention of injury. Exercise capacity and biomechanical tests were performed before and after training intervention. The study hypothesized that the training could improve athletic performance significantly (vertical jump, singleleg side jump, speed and agility, bench press and squat 1RM) as well as improved the lower limb movement model (improve the range of knee movement, and reduced knee varus and valgus torque.The results showed that, compared with the control group (CG) which did not carry out the integration of neuromuscular training, the test of vertical jump, single-leg side jump, speed and agility, bench press, squat, knee motion, knee varus and valgus toque of experimental group (EG) showed a significant improvement (P<0.05) .Conclusions:Integrative neuromuscular training emphasizes flexion knee movement and stability exercises. It changes the biomechanical model of the knee joint force. Especially, the knee flexion action at moment of jumping and landing improved obviously. Besides that, the action biomechanical rationality is improved. It can not only reduce the potential risk of lower extremity injury effectively, but also can improve the performance and quality of movement directly. It is suggested that in the following training, the training methods such as super-length training, resisting force training, core stability training, balance training and speed agility training should be combined rationally, the cumulative effects of these training can improve the exercise performance and prevent injury of athletes effectively.
