PROPRIOCEPTIVE AND NEURO-MUSCULAR COORDINATION E-TRAINING IN SPORT PERFORMANCE

Summary/Abstract: Proprioception and neuro-muscular coordination are treated as new trends in sport performance training process. The latest research shows that best efficiency in sport performance has the athletes that manage their body and segments in best coordinative circumstances even in different kind of stressfully environments. The aim of this material is explore the importance of proprioception and neuro-muscular coordination as a part of training sessions. We focused our research on the Handball players and Biathlon athletes. The selected drills has been developed using unstable surfaces devices such as Balance fit, Bossu, Therabands, Foam devices etc. Evaluation of the athletes’ performances has been realized using tests from “Functional testing in Human Performance – 139 tests for sport, fitness, and occupational settings” by Michael P. Reiman and Robert C. Manske (Human Kinetics, 2009). For handball players tests has been developed in the sports hall they are training and for the biathlon athletes in their own specific training environment. The protocols to be followed have been detailed in accordance with the coaches and athletes. Some of the conclusion are still to come, taking in consider that our research is on running. At the same time we consider that the earlier we start with proprioceptive and neuro-muscular training, the safest and more efficient sport performances we’ll have. The results we obtained encourage us to develop further drills patterns to be followed by the coaches and athletes too.
