The purpose of this research project is to evaluate the effectiveness of an injury prevention intervention for collegiate soccer players.
The purpose of this research project is to evaluate the effectiveness of an injury prevention intervention for collegiate soccer players. The hypothesis is that measures of sensorimotor control will improve and injury incidence rate will decrease after participation in an intervention aimed at restoration/refinement of sensorimotor control. This study will be conducted as a 1-arm intervention with pre- and post-participation measurement of sensorimotor control and completion of an exercise intervention. Statistical analyses will be completed to determine within group change pre-to post-intervention and injury risk by comparing injury rate in 2018 to injury rate of a historical control.
