Descripción detallada
Running is a repetitive and high-impact activity that places significant mechanical stress on the lower extremities. Improper movement patterns, muscle imbalances, and reduced neuromuscular control have been identified as key contributors to running-related injuries. Previous studies have demonstrated that neuromuscular training can enhance movement efficiency, improve joint stability, and reduce injury risk in athletic populations. However, there is limited evidence on the structured and progressive application of neuromuscular exercise programs specifically designed for recreational runners.
The present randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of an 8-week structured neuromuscular exercise program on running performance and lower extremity biomechanics in recreational runners. The intervention includes progressive exercises focusing on hip and core strength, dynamic balance, plyometric control, and running-specific mobility. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention or control group. The intervention group will perform the neuromuscular training twice weekly under supervision, while the control group will maintain their usual physical activity routine. Biomechanical assessments and functional performance tests will be conducted before and after the intervention period. This study seeks to provide scientific evidence supporting the preventive and performance-enhancing benefits of neuromuscular training in runners, contributing to injury prevention and performance optimization strategies.

Experimental: NEUROMUSCULAR EXERCISE GROUP
Participants in this group will not receive any structured exercise program during the 8-week intervention period.
They will maintain their usual physical activity and running habits.
Assessments will be performed at the same pre- and post-intervention time points as the intervention group.
