简要总结
This study examined whether a 10-week dynamic stability training program using water-filled equipment could improve joint control and postural stability during landing and directional changes.
Twenty-six healthy young men were randomly assigned to either a training group, which performed water-based exercises, or a control group, which did not receive any intervention.
All participants performed a landing followed by a 90-degree cutting task, and joint moment data were collected using a 3D motion capture system.
The study aimed to determine if water-based perturbation training enhances neuromuscular control and reduces biomechanical stress during complex movements.
详细描述
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dynamic stability training using the inertial load of water on lower limb joint moments and postural control during landing and subsequent 90-degree directional changes. Rapid deceleration and cutting movements are known to generate high biomechanical loads on the lower extremities, especially during transitions from the non-dominant to dominant leg. Enhancing neuromuscular control in these situations may help reduce injury risk and improve movement efficiency.
A total of 26 healthy male participants in their 20s were recruited and randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n = 13) or a control group (n = 13). The experimental group completed a 10-week training program using water-filled bags designed to induce dynamic perturbation and promote balance and joint control. The control group did not undergo any training intervention during the same period.
All participants performed a standardized movement task consisting of single-leg landing followed by a 90-degree cutting maneuver. A 3D motion capture system and force plates were used to collect data on joint moments and biomechanical responses during both the landing and change-of-direction phases. Pre- and post-intervention data were compared to determine the effectiveness of the water-based perturbation training.
This study was designed to evaluate whether unstable load training can serve as an effective method for improving lower extremity biomechanics and dynamic stability in young adults.

结局指标
主要结局
Peak Joint Moment of the Lower Extremity During Landing and Cutting
时间窗: Baseline and after 10 weeks of intervention
This outcome includes the peak moments of the hip, knee, and ankle joints in all three planes (sagittal, frontal, and transverse) measured during the landing and subsequent 90-degree change-of-direction task. The values are derived using a 3D motion capture system to calculate inverse dynamics.
