This study was designed to investigate the effects of balance training, plus black seeds capsules on knee joint injuries, balance and performance.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty students from Banha Univ. volunteered to participate in the study, they were affected with knee joint injuries (strain, sprain), aged (19-22y). They were divided to three groups each of 10 students, balance training group, balance training with black seeds capsules (200mg/daily), control group. The training course run for one hour a day, four days weekly and lasted 3 months. Control group did not participate to the training. Tests were performed at baseline and after 3 months: vertical jump, isometric lower limb extension 5 huttle run, balance test, knee joint range motion. The results suggest neuromuscular adaptation and activation of proprioceptors leading to improved balance, range of motion and performance in case of balance training group plus black seeds capsules compared to balance training alone or control group.
