Effect of a Neuromuscular Training on Knee Valgus, Range of Motion and Muscle Strength of Soccer Players With Dynamic Knee Valgus

Background and Aims The present study aims to investigate the effect of a neuromuscular training program on knee valgus angle, range motion (ROM) muscle strength hip ankle in male adolescent football players with dynamic (DKV). Valgus is one most common abnormalities that involved causing non-contact damage anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Methods This quasi-experimental study. Participants were 25 DKV who purposefully selected from Shahin Football Academy Amol, Iran randomly divided into two groups control training. existence was assessed by Squats test angle jump-landing Kinovea software. abduction external rotation ROM dorsiflexion plantarflexion evaluated Manual Muscle Testing goniometer, respectively. After performing pre-test assessments, subjects group performed for 8 weeks, while also participated physical fitness Academy. At end, assessments again groups. To examine differences, repeated measures analysis variance Bonferroni post hoc used SPSS software, version 24. significance level set at 0.05. Results results showed significant difference (P=0.001), (P=0.01), extension flexion (P=0.002), (P=0.03) between However, no (P>0.05). month, sustainability hip, flexion, ankle. Conclusion can reduce risk ACL injury improving
