About this trial
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.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Being a professional or performance dancer actively training at the Aytunç Bentürk Dance Academy.
Being between 18 and 25 years of age.
Volunteering to participate in the study and providing written informed consent.
Having no orthopedic, neurological, or systemic injuries in the lower extremities within the last 6 months that could affect balance and motor performance.
Disqualifiers
Having a history of major orthopedic surgery in the lower extremities.
Any uncorrected visual or vestibular impairments that could negatively affect reaction time or postural control.
Acute musculoskeletal pain or injury during the baseline assessment period.
Failure to complete the baseline measurements or formal training sessions.
