Overview

NCT ID: NCT07730710
Lead Sponsor: Yeditepe UniversityOTHER
Official Title: The Effect of Neuromotor-Cognitive Training on Dynamic Balance, Reaction Time and Sensorimotor Performance in Performance Dancers
Brief Summary: This prospective randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effects of neuromotor-cognitive training on dynamic balance, reaction time, and sensorimotor performance in performance dancers.

The main hypotheses are:

H0: There is no difference in dynamic balance, reaction time, and sensorimotor performance between performance dancers who receive neuromotor-cognitive training and those who follow their routine training schedule.

H1: Performance dancers who receive neuromotor-cognitive training show significant improvements in dynamic balance, reaction time, and sensorimotor performance compared to those who follow their routine training schedule.
Conditions: Postural Balance
Reaction Time

Participant Group/Arms

Neuromotor-Cognitive Training GroupExperimental

This group will receive a structured, technology-supported training protocol incorporating visual stimulus systems (such as BLAZEPOD®) alongside their routine training schedule to enhance neuromuscular control, dynamic balance, and cognitive processing speed.

Behavioral: Neuromotor-Cognitive Training

Routine Training GroupNo Intervention

This group will maintain their regular and routine dance practice schedules at the academy during the study period, without receiving any additional technology-supported neuromotor-cognitive training protocols.
