Neuromuscular Training in Adolescents

Over the past few decades, resistance training has significantly improved the starting body composition; it has been strongly recommended in adolescence. Developing muscular strength and muscle strength is still the subject of discussion and criticism through resistance training for children and adolescents. According to two researchers, Myer and Faigenbaum, they concluded that the age at which neuromuscular training begins in adolescence is the time the child can understand the instructions.

"11" Recently (Mandelbaum et al., 2005) investigated the effectiveness of the neuromuscular and proprioceptive training program for young soccer players over 2 years and found that ACL damage was 88% (grade 1 ) And 74% (grade 2), respectively. In summary, these studies clearly show the effectiveness and usefulness of these programs in the prevention of injuries in adolescent sports participants. Guess can only be made after further research, but "11" is a particularly young athlete, and more importantly for the continuation through age / experience, similar benefits as previous conditional intervention May bring

Neuromuscular adaptation after resistance training has not been largely studied in children and adolescent CP. Considering that the main pathology of CP involves the motor system, it is possible to reduce the adaptability of neurological factors after resistance training, as suggested by Stackhouse et al. 20. CP is compared with regular counterparts. Regarding muscle hypertrophy, McNee et al. [21] found that childhood and adolescent CP patients had increased muscle resistance after 5 weeks and 10 weeks of resistance training. However, because there is no control group in this study, it is difficult to judge whether changes in muscle mass are due to the overall growth of participants, not muscle hypertrophy caused by training.

ES can be used for CP and adolescent children to enhance muscular strength, improve functional ability, teach new muscle function, and enhance muscle function after plastic surgery. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and threshold electrical stimulation (TES) are common variants. NMES is the application of electrical stimulation to lower motor neurons or terminal branches to cause depolarization and ultimately cause muscle contraction. There are two mechanisms for increasing the strength of NMES. The first is the principle of loading, the muscle strength increases as the cross sectional area of ​​the muscle increases. In the second mechanism, selective development of type II fibers allows for the development of synaptic activity in the muscle.
