摘　　要：Purpose Neuromuscular training aims to enhance motor skill competency and increase muscle strength.However,the effectiveness of short-duration interventions focused on addressing lower limb injury risk factors in male youth athletes at different stages of maturity remains unknown.Methods Forty-eight young male academy cricket players[pre-peak height velocity(PHV)(n=26)and post-PHV(n=22)]were subdivided into an experimental group(EXP)who completed a 4-week progressive neuromuscular training program and controls(CON)participating in sport training only.Changes in injury risk were examined using the Tuck Jump Assess-ment(TJA)and Landing Error Scoring System(LESS).Results Total LESS score was significantly lower in both EXP maturity groups compared to CON following the 4-week program(10 to 6 and 6 to 4(~20%to 40%))in the pre-and post-PHV EXP groups,respectively.Significant within-group reductions in total LESS score were shown for the pre-PHV EXP group only(P<0.05).Conversely,greater changes in TJA total score were shown in post-PHV(5 to 3;40%)versus pre-PHV EXP(6 to 4.5;26%).Pre-PHV players showed positive changes in individual LESS criteria indicative of frontal plane control but not in knee valgus during the TJA,whereas post-PHV players did improve this criterion.Conclusion This study indicates it is possible to reduce TJA and LESS scores in male youth athletes by performing a 4-week neuromuscular training program,improving landing mechanics and reducing injury risk irrespective of maturity,but their effects are somewhat influenced by stage of maturation and the task performed.
