“…Adolescent female basketball, soccer, and volleyball players were evaluated prior to 6 weeks of comprehensive neuromuscular training. After training, the athletes demonstrated improved performance measures (back squat, single‐leg hop and hold distance, vertical jump, speed), as well as several biomechanical factors related to injury risk (increased knee flexion–extension range of motion, decreased valgus moments during the landing phase of a vertical jump and improved single‐leg dynamic stability) (Hewett et al, 2004a; Paterno et al, 2004). The results of these studies support the hypothesis that the combination of multiple injury prevention training components into a comprehensive program improves measures of performance and movement biomechanics.…”
