Description
Youwei Yao and co-authors review training to prevent knee injuries in sport in 2026. Knee injuries bring pain, joint damage, and lost playing time. Neuromuscular training is widely used to cut that risk. Whether age changes how well it works, and which training traits matter, was unclear.
The team searched five databases and kept thirty studies under standard review rules. They merged results with models that allow for varied effects. Subgroup and bias checks probed what drives the gains. The pooled answer can help coaches tune drills to the age and needs of their athletes.
