Our study is a randomized controlled trial. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of neuro-athletic training on balance, agility, jump performance parameters, and injury risk in Taekwondo athletes.
Hypotheses H0: Neuro-athletic training has no effects on balance, agility, jump performance parameters, and injury risk in Taekwondo athletes.
H1: Neuro-athletic training has effects on balance, agility, jump performance parameters, and injury risk in Taekwondo athletes.
