Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of neuromuscular training on muscle strength, power, and dynamic posture control in freestyle skiers.<BR> Method: The subjects of this study were 14 male freestyle skiers. They were classified into exercise groups (n=7) and control groups (n=7). The exercise group performed neuromuscular training 1 hour three times a week for 8 weeks and conducted muscle strength, power and dynamic posture control tests before and after. The data process of this study was calculated as mean (M) or percentage and standard deviation (SD) of all measured values, used a repeated Two-way ANOVA test and paired t-test. The significant level of hypothesis verification was set up as α=.05.<BR> Result: The results of the study showed a significant increase in muscle strength and sargent jump. The dynamic posture control test showed a significant increase in left and right lateral stretching.<BR> Conclusion: In conclusion, the eight-week neuromuscular training will help athletic performance and prevent injury by improving the muscle strength, power and dynamic posture control ability in freestyle skiers.
