The Effects of Dual-Task Balance Training on Athletes` Performance and Injury Risk

Dual-tasking has been defined as the concurrent performance of two tasks that can be performed and measured separately and have different goals. The performance of each task depends on the capacity of managing the interactions of the two tasks. In sports, situations such as ball dribbling, landing from a jump or changing directions while observing the opponents position and take a strategic decision presume the performance of at least two simultaneous tasks.

Improving athletes' performance and reducing injury risk are two important objectives in all sports.

The scope of this Research Topic is to generate evidence on the effects dual-task balance training on athletes' performance and injury risk.

Researcher are encouraged to submit original research articles, reviews, brief research reports addressing the following topics (but not limited to):

- dual-task balance training protocols

- cognitive-motor training

- sports performance

- injury risk

- concussion rehabilitation

Keywords: duak-task, balance training, neuromuscular training, sports performance, injury risk

Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
