Summary

This study tested a one-week neuroathletic training program in 30 adolescent basketball players aged 14-17. The training included eye exercises, balance drills, and coordination moves added to their usual practice. Researchers measured changes in vision, endurance, balance, fear of movement, and injury risk. The goal was to see if this short program could improve key skills and reduce injury risk.
