Weight lifting trainings play an important role in improving overall sports performance through increasing muscle power, hypertrophy, kinetic performance, balance and neuromuscular coordination. The present study aims to investigate the effects of strength training on neuromuscular coordination in poll players. In this study, 30 pool players were randomly assigned into control (n=15) and experimental (n=15) groups. The experimental group participated in a 12-week strength exercise program along with their regular pool training. Exercise regimen consisted of 90 minutes strength training 3 sessions/week.. The control group participated merely in pool training. Prior to and following experimental period data were collected using arm ruler, dart and ball tests and electromyography measurements. Data were analyzed using Statistical test of kolmogrov-smirnof, Pierson Correlation Coefficient and independent t-test at significance level of P<0. Results of the study revealed that the relationship between strength training and reaction time, neuromuscular coordination, target tracking and neuromuscular compatibility of dominant hand was significant; however, the relationship between strength training and neuromuscular compatibility and target tracking of non-dominant hand was insignificant. Findings revealed that strength training increase neuromuscular coordination and compatibility in pool players and improve their targeting
