Primary outcomes

  1. Injury

    Time frame: 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.

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

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

Secondary outcomes

  1. Training Habits

    Time frame: 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.

    Surveys will answer if participants continue with their new training habits

  2. Muscular Strength

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

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

  3. Aerobic Capacity

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

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

  4. Anaerobic Capacity

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

    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.

  5. Range of Motion

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

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