Summary
Visual feedback training (VFB) significantly improved hamstring muscle activation in a masters sprinter experiencing functional neuromuscular inhibition. This technique enhanced muscle strength and power, crucial for aging athletes.
Area of Science:
- Neuromuscular Physiology
- Sports Science
- Geriatric Medicine
Background:
- Masters athletes experience age-related neuromuscular decline, including dynapenia and reduced neural drive.
- This can lead to impaired performance and increased injury risk, particularly in sprinters.
- Functional neuromuscular inhibition, resembling arthrogenic inhibition without structural damage, affects muscle activation.
