The influence of 4-week eccentric Nordic hamstring exercise training on postural balance and muscle strength: A randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the impact of a 4-week Nordic Hamstrings Exercise (NHE) eccentric training program on postural balance in static and dynamic conditions, focusing on the dominant leg. This study involved thirty-two recreationally active individuals, randomly divided into two groups: Nordic Exercise training (NHE Group; n = 16) and the matched-control group (CON Group; n = 16). The NHE Group performed Nordic hamstring exercise training for 4 weeks, during which the volunteer exercised 3 times a week for 3 sets, each set consisting of 3 repetitions of NHE. Postural balance was assessed using three tests: static balance on a stable platform with eyes closed, dynamic balance on an unstable platform for both legs and dynamic balance on an unstable platform for the dominant leg.
