ABSTRACT

Background: ACL injury is one of the most common injuries that happen in badminton players, and its strength is important to prevent the recurrence of ACL injuries. Studies have proven a significant difference between INT and hop stabilization training in subjects among female badminton players.

Method: The study design was an experimental study; 28 subjects were selected. They were divided into two groups: Integrative Neuromuscular Training (INT) (GROUP A) and Hop stabilization training (GROUP B).

Results: The statistical analysis done using an unpaired 't' test with the values of Group A and Group B shows a significance of (p < 0.0001). It has been concluded that the mean difference of Group A shows impact on increasing sports performance and prevention of injury than Group B among female badminton players.

Conclusion: The study concluded that INT shows a beneficial effect on sports performance and injury prevention when compared with hop stabilization training on female badminton players after 6 weeks of intervention.
