Effects of stabilization and yoga training on neuromuscular performance in sedentary women.
Trial report in European journal of applied physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeA sedentary lifestyle impairs neuromuscular function by reducing muscle strength, postural control, and balance. This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of an 8-week yoga and stabilization program on isokinetic strength, dynamic balance, and functional movement screening (FMS) in sedentary young women.
methodsForty-two healthy sedentary women (aged 18-24) were randomly assigned to yoga (n = 14), stabilization (n = 14), or control (n = 14) groups. Intervention groups participated in once-weekly sessions: yoga (Surya Namaskar-based) or stabilization (motor control, core, and dynamic resistance exercises). The control group received no intervention. Pre- and post-assessments included isokinetic strength, the Y Balance Test (YBT), and FMS.
resultsBoth exercise groups showed significant improvements in FMS scores (Yoga: d = 0.86; Stabilization: d = 0.88) and right quadriceps strength (Yoga: d = 0.87-0.88; Stabilization: d = 0.86-0.88) compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The stabilization group showed greater gains in dynamic balance (YBT Right: d = 0.95; Left: d = 0.90), while the yoga group had relatively higher improvements in left hamstring strength (d = 0.62-0.68). Only the stabilization group showed significant increases in shoulder internal rotation strength (d = 0.67-0.84).
conclusionsOnce-weekly yoga and stabilization training improved neuromuscular performance in sedentary women. Stabilization exercises were more effective for balance and shoulder strength, while yoga contributed to flexibility and hamstring development. These findings support the feasibility of structured, low-frequency exercise programs to enhance physical function and potentially reduce injury risk in sedentary populations.
