Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of neuromuscular training on balance, motor function, and knee and ankle proprioception in female taekwondo athletes aged 15 to 18 years.
Methods In this study, 30 taekwondo athletes aged 15 to 18 were selected and randomly divided into two groups: control and experimental. To assess the training program's efficacy, tests related to static and dynamic balance were conducted using the stork and wow tests, while functional movements were evaluated with the screening test (FMS).
Results The results of this study demonstrated a significant improvement in static balance following the implementation of the exercise program (p < 0.05).
Conclusion In summary, the findings of this study indicate the efficacy of neuromuscular exercises in enhancing both static and dynamic balance, motor function, knee and ankle proprioception in female taekwondo athletes. Consequently, the adoption of this training program is recommended for coaches and athletes in this sport to mitigate injury risk and enhance sports performance.
