The Impact of Integrated Neuromuscular Training Intervention on the Basic Physical Fitness of Military Personnel

Objective: The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of an 8-week integrated neuromuscular training intervention on the fundamental physical fitness parameters of military personnel, encompassing strength, velocity, agility, and equilibrium.

Methodology: The research randomly allocated 20 military students from the National University of Defense Technology into two cohorts, utilizing an experimental methodology with longitudinal assessments at the onset, midpoint, and conclusion of the intervention to quantitatively assess the influence of the integrated neuromuscular training on velocity and agility. Participants in both the experimental and control groups were evaluated one week prior to the intervention, at the fourth week, and one week post-intervention. Statistical analysis involved a two-factor repeated measures ANOVA to compare measures across the three time points, while paired-sample t-tests were applied for pre-post comparisons. The experimental group engaged in an 8-week integrated neuromuscular training regimen, consisting of three 90-minute sessions per week, culminating in a total of 24 sessions. Concurrently, the control group adhered to a conventional physical training schedule, also structured around three 90-minute sessions per week, over the same 24-session period, thereby ensuring parity in total training duration and frequency between the experimental and control groups.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age between 18-24 years old
• Students with corresponding military status
• Meeting the diagnostic criteria for functional movement screen assessment
• No history of psychological or psychiatric disorders, and not participating in other physical training during the experimental period
• Capable of cooperating to complete the corresponding training and testing, and will not withdraw from the experiment without cause

Exclusion Criteria:

• Major sports injuries within the past 2 years, including fractures, ligament tears, muscle or tendon ruptures, and recurrent dislocations of joints
• Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and related internal organ conditions
• Failure to pass the functional movement screen test
• Individuals with injuries or discomfort in other areas
