About
The purpose of this study is to examine changes in agility and athletic performance of high school basketball players following a coach-led neuromuscular training program. Outcomes were measured at pre- and post-season data collection sessions. Additionally, player attendance and warm-up adherence was self recorded by coaches.
Full description
This study recruited high school basketball teams from the greater New York City area. Coaches from the participating teams were trained to implement a neuromuscular training program to their players at the start of a warm-up prior to all practices and games for the duration of their basketball season (10-14 weeks). At pre-season and post-season data collection sessions, players completed agility and movement quality testing. Agility was measured by the Lane Agility Test (LAT) and movement quality testing was measured through completing a series of single leg squats. The single leg squats were recorded and analyzed using a previously scoring criteria (Di Paolo et al. 2024). After videos were analyzed, players were given an overall movement quality score using the scoring criteria.
