Summary
This study tested whether a single 20-minute session of neuroathletic training—a mix of eye, balance, and coordination exercises—could improve muscle strength, endurance, balance, and thinking in 52 non-athletic adults aged 18-30. Participants were healthy but inactive. The training aimed to stimulate sensory pathways to quickly enhance motor control and cognitive performance. Results could help design better injury prevention and rehab programs for everyday people.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could support adding neuroathletic exercises to injury prevention and rehab programs for everyday people.
