About this Research Topic
In recent times, neuromuscular training exercises (NTE) have garnered increasing attention in the fields of health, rehabilitation, and sports. These exercises encompass a wide array of modalities including upper-body, lower-body, sprint, throwing, jump training, and flywheel training among other NTE modalities. Specifically, the development of new measurement tools and ease of application have enabled practitioners and scientists to implement acute, short-term, and long-term NTE interventions. Traditionally, NTE has been advocated as an intervention strategy for athletes. However, recent advancements reveal promising effects on a broader range of populations, such as older adults, injured participants (both for prevention and rehabilitation), those at risk of osteoporosis, individuals with metabolic disorders, and those with neurological conditions, among others. The evolving landscape of NTE applications presents both opportunities and challenges for researchers. Therefore, it is warranted to further explore more effective acute, short-term, and long-term NTE strategies for health, fitness, and performance enhancement. Moreover, the mechanisms underpinning NTE-related adaptations are worth being investigated.
This Research Topic aims to gain an understanding of the acute and chronic responses to neuromuscular training exercises (NTE) in different populations. To this aim, we seek to publish high-quality research articles, as well as reviews, related (but not limited to) to NTE:
- in health and rehabilitation
- in human performance
- for the biological bases of NTE
- for better training effectiveness and individualization
- for biomechanical, anthropometric, cardiovascular, and metabolic acute/long-term effects.
The scope of the NTE Research Topic is to cover the vast range of themes stated above. For this purpose, the editors are interested in publishing a collection of articles covering Original Research, Brief Reports, Reviews, and Case Reports addressing NTE. The type of original research that is sought to be submitted would include acute as well as short-term and long-term intervention studies. For acute studies, study designs employing cross-over designs are encouraged. Reviews in the form of narrative, systematic, and scoping reviews targeting NTE and related areas are welcome.
