Abstract: (17 Views)
Introduction: This study seeks to examine how neuromuscular training, in contrast to standard exercise routines, influences load perception and free torque among adolescent girls aged 15 to 18 with a history of ankle ligament sprains—an aspect that has not yet been thoroughly explored in prior research.
Method: This investigation adopted an applied, semi-experimental approach using a pre-test–post-test framework. Participants were divided into three groups: two experimental groups—one receiving neuromuscular training and the other traditional training—and a control group. The statistical sample of this research included 45 people (15 people in each group) with an age range of 15 to 18 years. A force plate was used to evaluate the load rating and free torque of while walking. To analyze the data, two-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc tests were performed at a significance level of p≤0.05.
Results: Evaluation over the six-week period indicated that the loading rate improved to a lesser extent in the group receiving conventional training relative to the group performing neuromuscular training (P = 0.030; d = 0.148).
Conclusion: The present results indicate that, relative to conventional exercise approaches, neuromuscular training yields more pronounced gains in both loading rate and free torque. Based on these outcomes, the inclusion of neuromuscular training protocols in the rehabilitation and conditioning plans of individuals with lateral ankle ligament injuries or chronic ankle instability is recommended, as such programs may enhance functional recovery and clinical results.
