Training for Injury Prevention in Collegiate Soccer Players
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.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Male and female athletes on the soccer roster who are eligible to play in the fall
 2018 season at Mississippi College

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Any athlete who has a current diagnosis of concussion (i.e. a non-medically cleared
 concussion), lower-extremity musculoskeletal injury, or other medical diagnosis that
 will prevent the athlete from participation in the intervention.
