Effects of neuromuscular training on stability in volleyball athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Neuromuscular training (NMT) has been recognized as an effective strategy for improving sensorimotor function and mitigating injury risk in athletic populations. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effects of NMT on dynamic and static stability in volleyball players. This review assessed potential moderators, including sex and body region.

Relevant randomized controlled trials published between 1 January 2015, and 30 June 2025, were identified through systematic searches of major electronic databases. The search was limited to English-language publications and was conducted across Web of Science, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and PEDro. Following the screening and eligibility assessment, seven studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis.
