Nordic, plyometric, and neuromuscular training with SIS for hamstring strength and balance
Comparison of the Effects of Selected Training Methods (Neuromuscular Training, Plyometric Training, and Nordic Hamstring Exercise) and SIS Stimulation on Balance, Motor Performance Tests, and Lower Limb Strength
This study tests whether four-week programs (Nordic hamstring exercises, plyometrics, or neuromuscular training), alone or combined with Super Inductive Stimulation (SIS), improve hamstring strength, balance, and motor performance in physically active adults aged 19–40.

What this trial studies
This randomized controlled study runs in three independent stages, each focused on one training modality (Nordic hamstring, plyometric, or neuromuscular training). Within each stage participants are randomly assigned to one of four parallel groups: training plus SIS, training alone, SIS alone, or a no-change control. Interventions are delivered under supervision with standardized four-week protocols and SIS applied via a high-intensity electromagnetic device; a familiarization phase precedes testing. Primary outcomes include hamstring muscle strength, balance measures, and motor performance, with adherence and protocol compliance monitored throughout.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Healthy, physically active adults aged 19–40 without recent lower-limb injury or pain are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People with current pain, recent lower-limb injury or surgery, active inflammatory conditions, those in peak sport training, or those outside the 19–40 age range are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could offer a short-term, noninvasive way to increase hamstring strength, improve balance and movement, and potentially lower re-injury risk in active adults.
How similar studies have performed: Nordic hamstring, plyometric, and neuromuscular programs have prior evidence for improving hamstring strength and reducing injury risk, whereas clinical evidence for high-intensity SIS on hamstring outcomes is limited and more novel.
