Background and Aims Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs are implemented to correct or eliminate risk factors and reduce the incidence of injury. Neuromuscular training focus on various activities and play an important role in improving neuromuscular control. This research aims to investigate the effects of neuromuscular training on static and dynamic balance and jump-landing mechanics in male football players at high risk of ACL injury.
Methods In this semi-experimental study, 24 male football players at high risk of ACL injury (a score >6 in the tuck jump test) were purposefully selected and randomly divided into two groups of training (n=12) and control (n=12). before and after neuromuscular training, static balance was evaluated using the Stork test and the dynamic balance was evaluated using the Y balance test. Also, the jump-landing mechanics was evaluated with the tuck jump test. The training group participated in the neuromuscular training program for six weeks (3 sessions per week) while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, analysis of covariance, and paired t-test in SPSS software, version 22. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results The results showed that, after neuromuscular training, the stork test time (static balance; P=0.001) and the reach distance in the Y balance test (dynamic balance; P=0.001) significantly increased and the error rate in the tuck jump test (jump-landing mechanics; P=0.002) significantly decreased in the training group compared to the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion Neuromuscular training is recommended to improve the static and dynamic balance and jump-landing mechanics and consequently prevent ACL injury in male football players.
