Athlete Neuromuscular Training with a Focus on the Knee Joint

Neuromuscular training is a physically and mentally demanding process. These programs are intended to improve joint strength, particularly in the knees, as well as to raise the athletes awareness of good balance and technique. Warm ups, strengthening, plyometrics, and stretching exercises are typical in Neuromuscular regimens. The stability of the knee is affected by a variety of factors. The static and dynamic knee stabilizers are the two most significant. Static stabilizers are the Anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, Medial collateral ligament and, Lateral collateral ligament. Dynamic stabilizers of the knee are the muscles and tendons that surround the joint. These muscles and tendons are controlled by neuromuscular input the unconscious activity of these tissues helps to control joint position. Neuromuscular training is utilized to create better knee stability practices. Training allows one to keep the knee joint in a more solid position during jumping, landing and rotating. These programs aim to improve both cognitive awareness and muscle memory, strengthen the entire knee joint, and make it less prone to injury. Thus, this paper is to raise awareness regarding the significance and necessity of neuromuscular training for athletes.
