This study investigates the efficacy of proprioceptive and motor balance training using quick reflexes in improving jumping and shooting performance, neuroplasticity, and kinematic variables among basketball players. A total of 32 participants were divided into two equal groups: an experimental group of 16 players with an average age of 18.84 years and a control group of 16 players with an average age of 19.03 years. The experimental group underwent training involving proprioceptive and motor balance exercises with blink reflex stimulation, while the control group followed standard training routines. Post-intervention assessment revealed significant neurological plasticity and improvements in the key variables related to jump shooting performance in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.001). This shows that proprioceptive and motor balance training with saccade stimulation enhances jump shooting skills and kinematic attributes related to shooting in basketball players. This adds to the emerging evidence on the diverse alternative training strategies that can improve athletic performance, thus providing important historical context for future studies as well as practical applications in sports training.
本研究调查了运用快速反射的本体感觉和运动平衡训练对提高篮球运动员跳跃和投篮表现、神经可塑性以及运动学变量的效果。共有32名参与者被平均分为两组：实验组16名球员，平均年龄18.84岁；对照组16名球员，平均年龄19.03岁。实验组进行了包含本体感觉和运动平衡练习以及眨眼反射刺激的训练，而对照组遵循标准训练程序。干预后评估显示，与对照组相比，实验组在神经可塑性以及与跳投表现相关的关键变量方面有显著改善（p < 0.001）。这表明，伴有扫视刺激的本体感觉和运动平衡训练可提高篮球运动员的跳投技能以及与投篮相关的运动学属性。这为可提高运动表现的多种替代训练策略增添了新的证据，从而为未来研究以及体育训练的实际应用提供了重要的历史背景。
