Effects of Integrated Neuromuscular Training on Physical Fitness in Badminton Athletes With Different Maturity Statuses
A study testing integrated neuromuscular training in people with Athletic Injuries, run by National Taiwan Sport University at 1 site in Taiwan.
Trial 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… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Department of Sport Performance, National Taiwan University of Sport
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.
Read the 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.

| post maturation status | Experimental | maturation status (post peak height velocity; n = 12 each). Receives: Other: integrated neuromuscular training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
20-m linear sprint test
A 20-m linear sprint test was conducted using a Smartspeed Pro timing gate system
Measured: Baseline and immediately after the intervention
Countermovement jump
The participants stood on a jump mat (Smart Jump, Fusion Sport, Brisbane, Australia) with both hands placed on hips, and participants were instructed to perform a countermovement
Measured: Baseline and immediately after the intervention
Agility T-Test
The agility T-test was conducted using a Smartspeed Pro timing gate system
Measured: Baseline and immediately after the intervention
Hexagon test
The test has been used measure of agility and food quickness. The test began with the participants standing on the tape strip placed in the middle of the hexagon, facing forward in the middle of a hexagon measuring 60 cm per side and with each angle being120-degree.
Measured: Baseline and immediately after the intervention
Y-balance test
The test involved unilateral lower limb reaches in three directions: anterior (A), postero-medial (PM), and postero-lateral (PL). Participants completed three official trials in each direction. During each trial, participants kept their hands on their hips while reaching with the non-stance leg while barefoot, ensuring that the stance heel remained in contact with the ground.
Measured: Baseline and immediately after the intervention
