About this study

Participants who train at The Micheli Center for Sports Injury Prevention, will undergo testing of muscular strength, range of motion, flexibility, aerobic capacity and muscular endurance. They will complete training with a certified trainer and injury prevention specialist until their specific goals are meet. Upon completion of training, they will fill out an injury questionnaire every three months for five to ten years.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02999139
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ACL Return to PlayA specific training program, with emphasis on hamstring strengthening. There will also be a specificity on pivoting and jumping safely.
Gait RetrainingWill receive training that is specific to running. Drills will help enforce a more efficient running form, as well as strengthening important muscle groups such as the hip abductors and adductors.
Private TrainingParticipants will receive a broad training program, targeting all major muscle groups. The goal is to increase muscle strength, mobility and aerobic capacity to reduce the risk of injury.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Injury

    For purposes of our study, an injury is one that:

    1. occurred as a result of participation in sport AND
    2. required medical attention by a team athletic trainer or a physician AND
    3. resulted in restriction of the student-athlete's participation for one or more days beyond the day of injury OR
    4. resulted in any fracture, concussion, or dental injury regardless of whether or not it resulted in restriction of the student-athlete's participation

    Measured: After a subject undergoes training at The Micheli Center for Sports Injury Prevention, they will complete a survey every 3 months for the next 10 years.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Training Habits

    Surveys will answer if participants continue with their new training habits

    Measured: After a subject undergoes training at The Micheli Center for Sports Injury Prevention, they will complete a survey every 3 months for the next 10 years.

  2. Muscular Strength

    This will be measured by hand held dynamometer pre and post training intervention. Will testing major muscles such as the quadriceps, hamstrings, biceps, triceps.

    Measured: Before training and after completion of training at The Micheli Center for Sports Injury Prevention. Training can last from four weeks to a year.

  3. Aerobic Capacity

    This will be estimated by the step test, done pre and post training.

    Measured: Before training and after completion of training at The Micheli Center for Sports Injury Prevention. Training can last from four weeks to a year.

  4. Anaerobic Capacity

    This will be measured by a series of tests such as the vertical jump test and shuttle run. These measures will be tested pre and post training.

    Measured: Before training and after completion of training at The Micheli Center for Sports Injury Prevention. Training can last from four weeks to a year.

  5. Range of Motion

    This will be measured by goniometer at different joints such as the knee and ankle pre and post training.

    Measured: Before training and after completion of training at The Micheli Center for Sports Injury Prevention. Training can last from four weeks to a year.
