Even after surgery and standard rehabilitation, many athletes continue to have problems with knee stability, movement control, and performance during jumping and landing. These issues increase the risk of re-injury and can limit their ability to return to competition.\n\nNeuromuscular training (NMT) is a type of exercise program that focuses on improving balance, muscle coordination, and movement patterns. It uses activities such as jump-landing drills, balance tasks, agility exercises, and core training. Previous research shows that NMT can help athletes land more safely, reduce harmful knee movements, and improve sport performance. However, little is known about its long-term benefits in college basketball players who are more than one year post-ACL surgery.\n\nThis study aims to evaluate whether a 12-week NMT program, added to standard basketball training, can improve knee biomechanics, stability, and performance in college basketball players with a history of ACL reconstruction. Thirty participants will be randomly assigned to either an NMT group or a control group. Both groups will complete basketball training, but only the NMT group will receive the additional neuromuscular exercises.\n\nKnee movement will be measured using 3D motion capture and force plates, and performance will be tested through vertical jumps and other sport-specific tasks. The main outcomes will include knee angles during landing, ground reaction forces, dynamic stability, and jump height.\n\nThe expected outcome is that athletes who undergo NMT will demonstrate safer landing strategies, better knee control, and improved performance compared to those who only receive standard basketball training. These findings may help coaches and healthcare providers design safer, more effective rehabilitation programs for athletes after ACL surgery.",[545,546,547,31,548,304,549],"Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Rehabilitation","Knee Injuries","Biomechanical Data","Physical Fitness","Basketball Players",{"date":551,"type":51},"2026-01-07",{"date":553,"type":23},"2025-12-10",{"date":112,"type":23},{"name":556,"class":58},"Universiti Sains Malaysia",{"id":558,"slug":559,"hasResults":11,"nctId":560,"briefTitle":561,"officialTitle":561,"acronym":562,"eligibilityCriteria":563,"healthyVolunteers":17,"sex":18,"minAge":19,"maxAge":178,"enrollmentInfo":564,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":24,"phases":565,"briefSummary":566,"conditions":567,"keywords":569,"overallStatus":77,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":574,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":575,"startDateStruct":577,"completionDateStruct":579,"leadSponsor":581,"locationsCount":87},"100610212","whole-body-photobiomodulation-use-in-professional-soccer-players-during-a-state-championship-100610212","NCT07224646","Whole-Body Photobiomodulation Use in Professional Soccer Players During a State Championship","WBPBM-PSC","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Male professional soccer players currently competing in the championship\n* Age 18-35 years\n* Training frequency ≥5 times per week\n* Able to attend all PBM\u002Fsham sessions and all assessments during the 8-week intervention\n* Signed informed consent\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Lower-limb musculoskeletal injury in the last 6 months or currently receiving treatment\n* Current use of phototherapy or any other recovery-enhancing modality\n* Chronic medical conditions that may affect performance or recovery\n* Known sensitivity or contraindication to light-based therapies\n* Inability to comply with the intervention or training schedule",{"count":71,"type":23},[26],"This study aims to investigate the effects of whole-body photobiomodulation on professional soccer players during a state championship.

Despite no existing evidence, the advice to periodize exercise according to the menstrual cycle has been widely spread among elite athletes, coaches, and sports federations. The advice is based on underpowered studies with considerable methodological weaknesses regarding determination of cycle phase, inclusion of athletes and lack of adequate control groups.\n\nThe purpose of this randomized, controlled study is to evaluate the effect of exercise periodization on aerobic fitness during different phases of the menstrual cycle. Further, the effect will be related to premenstrual symptoms, body composition and skeletal muscle morphology, sex hormone receptors, metabolic enzymes, and markers of muscle protein synthesis.
