Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of balance training on neuromuscular function at rest and during isometric maximum voluntary contraction.
This study was directed to investigate the neuromuscular function of the plantar flexors and tibialis anterior (TA) before and after 8 weeks of balance training. ⋯ Data suggest that balance training reduced antagonistic muscle co-activity at the onset of triceps surae contraction and, in turn, increased isometric explosive voluntary strength of the plantar flexors.
