Conceptual model which compares the effects of integrative neuromuscular training initiated at different times in youth. The different colored lines represent the initiation of these integrative training techniques during pre-adolescence (Blue) and adolescence (Red) which will likely improve motor capacity and performance beyond natural adult potential (without such training). It is suggested that integrative neuromuscular training initiated in pre-adolescence and maintained into adolescence will maximize training age and the potential to achieve optimal adulthood motor capacity. Broken lines indicate potential detrimental effects of physically inactive youth who are not exposed to integrative training model.
