简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Compliance
时间窗: Throughout the 6 week intervention
Compliance with the RIIP REPS mobile program was defined by how many sessions were completed by each participant. Full compliance consisted of the recommended four sessions per week for a total of 24 sessions over the 6 week period. Adherence tiers were determined based on the number of sessions completed and were as follows: low adherence (\<12 sessions), and high adherence (\>12 sessions).
次要结局
- Movement Quality(Testing was performed before and within 2 weeks after the 6 week intervention.)
- Agility T Test(Testing was performed before and within 2 weeks after the 6 week intervention.)
