original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Specific exercise effects of preventive neuromuscular training intervention on anterior cruciate ligament injury risk reduction in young females: meta-analysis and subgroup analysis.
Br J Sports Med. 2015 Mar;49(5):282-289.14 studies, including 8 randomized controlled trials, were included in this meta-analysis which had the purpose of evaluating the prophylactic effects of preventative neuromuscular training in female athletes afflicted with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. The four types of exercise in the training program – balance, proximal control, strength, and plyometrics – were evaluated in subgroup analyses to determine efficacy in terms of number of anterior cruciate ligament injuries incurred during the intervention. The results of this study indicated that strength and proximal control training offered the greatest benefits in terms of preventing injury. However, no significant reduction was seen in the incidence of injuries in patients who engaged in balance or plyometric activities in comparison to those who did not. Additionally, subgroup analysis indicated that a combination of multiple exercise types significantly enhances prophylactic effectiveness compared to neuromuscular training programs that incorporated only one type of exercise.
