Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Musculoskeletal InjuryInjury, Knee
- Registration Number
- NCT03063814
- Lead Sponsor
- National Research Centre for the Working Environment, Denmark
- Brief Summary
Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate neuromuscular characteristics observed during a single bout of selected and validated injury preventive exercises instructed by an app (in accordance with 'Get set - Train smarter') versus gold standard instruction, supervision and feedback provided on-site by an expert. The present evaluation targets a population of female football and handball players without any previous exposure to injury prevention training.
