简要总结
This prospective randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effects of neuromotor-cognitive training on dynamic balance, reaction time, and sensorimotor performance in performance dancers.
The main hypotheses are:
H0: There is no difference in dynamic balance, reaction time, and sensorimotor performance between performance dancers who receive neuromotor-cognitive training and those who follow their routine training schedule.
H1: Performance dancers who receive neuromotor-cognitive training show significant improvements in dynamic balance, reaction time, and sensorimotor performance compared to those who follow their routine training schedule.
详细描述
Performance dancers from the Aytunç Bentürk Dance Academy who meet the eligibility criteria will be included in this prospective randomized controlled study to demonstrate the efficacy of technology-supported training methods. Participants will be randomly allocated into two distinct groups using a standardized allocation protocol: the Neuromotor-Cognitive Training Group (Experimental Arm) and the Routine Training Group (Control Arm).
The Neuromotor-Cognitive Training Group will undergo a structured, technology-supported training protocol incorporating visual stimulus systems to enhance neuromuscular control and cognitive processing speed. The Control Group will maintain their regular and routine dance practice routines during the study period without any additional structured experimental protocols.
Prior to the commencement of the intervention, all participants will be fully informed about the study procedures, and their formal consent will be obtained. Socio-demographic characteristics and baseline professional dance history will be documented using a structured evaluation form.
Objective pre- and post-test assessments will be conducted for both groups to evaluate sensorimotor adaptation. Dynamic balance, designated as the primary outcome measure, will be evaluated using the standardized Y-Balance Test. Secondary outcome measures, including objective reaction time and neuromuscular performance under cognitive load, will be rigorously quantified in milliseconds utilizing the BLAZEPOD® visual stimulus system along with the Reactive Jumping and Landing Test. All final measurements will be statistically analyzed using correlation and inter-rater reliability metrics to determine inter-group differences.

结局指标
主要结局
Y-Balance Test (YBT)
时间窗: The 8-week period between July 2026 and September 2026
The Y-Balance Test will be used as the primary outcome measure to objectively evaluate the dynamic balance and postural control of the performance dancers. Participants will perform maximal reach tasks in three distinct directions: anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral, while standing on a single limb. The reach distances will be normalized to the participant's leg length, and a comprehensive composite score will be calculated. Higher composite scores represent superior dynamic balance and enhanced neuromuscular control.
次要结局
- Reactive Jumping and Landing Test(The 8-week period between July 2026 and September 2026)
- Y-Shaped Reactive Agility Test(The 8-week period between July 2026 and September 2026)
