Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess both the feasibility and efficacy of a 6-week mobile-application-based neuromuscular training program in high school athletes by measuring adherence rates and examining changes in agility and neuromuscular control. Outcomes were measured both during the intervention (adherence) as well as at pre- and post-intervention data collection sessions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study recruited high school athletes (ages 14-18) from Westchester County, NY to participate in a six week mobile application-based neuromuscular control training program that was downloaded onto each participant's personal smartphone and consisted of 24 unique 7-minute sessions. Pre/post intervention assessments included (1) an agility T test and (2) a video-recorded single leg squat test from sagittal and coronal planes. Sagittal plane analysis captured peak knee and hip flexion angles; coronal plane analysis assessed alignment of the knee, hips, and trunk. These subcomponent scores were combined into an 8-point composite movement quality score previously described by Di Paolo et al. Paired t-tests and effect sizes (Cohen's d) were computed to evaluate pre-post changes in agility T test performance and Di Paolo single leg squat composite and subcomponent scores. Participants were arranged by adherence into high (≥12 sessions) and low (\<12 sessions) groups to determine if any relationship existed between adherence and outcome measures.

Neuromuscular Control Training Program

The intervention was a self-paced neuromuscular control training program that athletes completed on their mobile phones via the RIIP REPS app. Athletes were instructed to complete 4 sessions per week throughout the 6 week intervention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Neuromuscular Control Training

Intervention Type OTHER

The mobile app-based neuromuscular control training program was administered via the RIIP REPS application. The program consisted of 24 unique 7-minute sessions. Each session emphasized bodyweight training targeting landing mechanics, trunk and hip control, balance, and posterior chain engagement. The sessions progressed in difficulty throughout the intervention.
