“…The authors reported that school-based INT induced significantly greater improvements in movement skills and fitness when compared to the control group who performed the PE lessons without INT intervention ( Faigenbaum et al, 2011 ). Then, several studies confirmed that school-based INT can enhance children’s muscular strength ( Faigenbaum et al, 2011 ; Sindic et al, 2021 ), speed ( Duncan, Eyre & Oxford, 2018 ), postural control ( Guzmán-Muñoz et al, 2020 ), endurance ( Faigenbaum et al, 2011 ), and FMS ( Duncan, Eyre & Oxford, 2018 ; Duncan, Hames & Eyre, 2019 ; Silva-Moya et al, 2022 ). However, there are some contradictory findings in these studies.…”

Objectives The primary purpose of this review was to clarify the effects of school-based integrated neuromuscular training (INT) on fundamental movement skills and physical fitness in children. The secondary purpose was to examine whether school-based INT intervention is superior to physical education (PE) intervention in enhancing motor skills and fitness. Methods A systematic literature search was performed in four electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE (EBSCOhost), and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The last search was performed on December 21, 2021, and was limited to the English language, human species, and peer reviewed journals. Randomized controlled trials and cluster randomized controlled trials that examine the effects of school-based INT on motor skills and/or fitness in healthy children who were aged up to 14 years old were included. Moreover, studies included in this study should compare school-based INT-induced adaptions with those generated by PE interventions. Studies that involve athletic children and additional exercise training were excluded. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale was used to assess the quality of the study. Results Of 1,026 studies identified, seven original trials that meet the inclusion criteria were included in this review. Based on the PEDro scale, the PEDro score of seven studies was between six and eight points with a mean score of 5.29. Among the seven studies included in this study, four studies assessed physical fitness including muscular fitness (n = 4), speed (n = 3), endurance (n = 2), and flexibility (n = 2). Three studies examined the effects of INT on postural control and three studies explored its effects on motor skills. Concerning movement competence, significant and greater improvements in postural control and fundamental motor skills were observed following school-based INT interventions compared to PE intervention in two and three studies, respectively. Regarding physical fitness, neuromuscular training significantly increased muscular fitness, speed, endurance, flexibility in three, two, one, and one studies, respectively. However, only greater improvements in muscle fitness were observed in school-based INT group compared to PE group. The main limitations of this review were the lack of descriptions of training intensity and volume and the low methodological quality of the included studies. Conclusion This review provides evidence that school-based neuromuscular training programs are superior to PE lessons in improving postural control, fundamental motor skills and muscular strength. Therefore, INT could be incorporated into traditional physical education classes in school. Trial registration number: CRD42022297349.

“…El evaluador a cargo ubico la articulación en una posición objetivo durante tres segundos y se le solicitó a la participante recordar dicha posición. La posición objetivo para las articulaciones evaluadas fue de 70º de flexión de cadera, 50º de flexión de rodilla y 20º de flexión plantar (Silva-Moya et al, 2021). La literatura sugiere el uso de rangos articulares medios como posición objetivo porque se ha visto que es una posición más desafiante de reproducir que los rangos de movimiento extremos (Bruyneel, 2016;Silva-Moya et al, 2021).…”

Introducción: La prevención de lesiones depende de varios factores en el deportista, en donde un buen equilibrio postural y propiocepción son claves para lograrlo. Se plantea que el entrenamiento neuromuscular podría mejorar el equilibrio postural dinámico y propiocepción en basquetbolistas con inestabilidad funcional de tobillo (IFT). Método: Ensayo clínico controlado y aleatorizado. La muestra fue compuesta por 27 jugadoras de basquetbol entre 15 a 17 años, pertenecientes a un Club Deportivo de la comuna de Maipú (Santiago de Chile). 13 de ellas asignadas al grupo control y 14 a un grupo experimental. Este ultimo grupo recibió una intervención neuromuscular de 6 semanas, de 2 días no consecutivos. Se trabajaron ambas extremidades en superficies estables, inestables, con y sin inhibición visual. Se midió el equilibrio postural con la prueba SEBTm y la propiocepción a través de una prueba de reposicionamiento articular activo. Resultados: tanto el grupo control como experimental mejoraron significativamente el equilibrio postural, no obstante, el grupo experimental evidenció mayores cambios porcentuales y tamaños del efecto (TE) más grandes. El mayor cambio en el grupo control fue de 7,8% en la dirección posterolateral del SEBTm (p=0,046; TE=0,74). En el grupo experimental el mayor cambio fue de 21% en la dirección anterior del SEBTm (p=0,001; TE=2,2). En la prueba de reposicionamiento activo no se observaron cambios significativos en el grupo control, mientras que el grupo experimental mejoró hasta un 82,8% en la articulación de cadera (p=0,001; TE=2,72). Conclusión: Un entrenaiento neuromuscular de seis semanas mejoró el equilibrio postural dinámico y la propiocepción en basquetbolistas mujeres con IFT. Abstract. Introduction: Injury prevention depends on several factors in the athlete, where an optimal postural balance and proprioception are key to achieving it. It is suggested that neuromuscular training could improve dynamic postural balance and proprioception in basketball players with functional ankle instability (FAI). Method: Randomized controlled clinical trial. The sample consisted of 27 female basketball players between the ages of 15 and 17, belonging to a Sports Club in the Maipú city (Santiago, Chile). 13 of them assigned to the control group and 14 to an experimental group. This last group received a neuromuscular intervention of 6 weeks, of 2 non-consecutive days. Both extremities were worked on stable, unstable surfaces, with and without visual inhibition. Postural balance was measured with the SEBTm test and proprioception through an active joint repositioning test. Results: both the control and experimental groups significantly improved postural balance, however, the experimental group showed greater percentage changes and larger effect sizes (ES). The greatest change in the control group was 7.8% in the posterolateral direction of the SEBTm (p=0.046; ES=0.74). In the experimental group, the greatest change was 21% in the anterior direction of the SEBTm (p=0.001; ES=2.2). In the active repositioning test, no significant changes were observed in the control group, while the experimental group improved up to 82.8% in the hip joint (p=0.001; ES=2.72). Conclusion: A six-week neuromuscular training improved dynamic postural balance and proprioception in female basketball players with IFT.

Background: Ensuring the physical fitness of Egyptian children is of paramount importance to their overall well-being, given the unique socio-cultural and educational barriers they face that may hinder their active participation. As part of the DELICIOUS project, the “Be Fit Program” aims to increase the level of physical fitness among Egyptian school-aged children. This study explores the effectiveness of a structured, six-week physical activity (PA) program in improving various facets of physical fitness in children, including body composition, speed, coordination, muscular strength, and cardiovascular endurance. With the increasing prevalence of sedentary lifestyles, such efforts are imperative to improve overall health outcomes. Methods: A cohort of 125 children, aged 8.50 to 12.25 y (mean age 10.19 ± 1.03 y), participated in the study. Their body composition, speed, coordination, strength, and aerobic fitness were assessed before and after the Be Fit Program using the revised International Physical Performance Test Profile. Paired t-tests were used to detect changes between the pre- and post-tests. Results: Following the six-week intervention, statistical analyses revealed significant improvements in coordination and lower body strength (p < 0.01). Aerobic endurance showed marginal improvements, approaching statistical significance (p = 0.06). Conversely, there were no statistically significant changes in body composition, speed, or upper body strength (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The study confirms that tailored, non-competitive physical activities can positively influence specific fitness components in Egyptian children. However, achieving holistic improvements across all targeted fitness domains may require further strategic adjustments or a longer program duration. This pilot study underscores the importance of culturally tailored, school-based PA programs and highlights the continued need for research and program refinement to comprehensively improve children’s fitness in the Egyptian context.
