About this study

After initial baseline testing, athletes were randomly selected to receive upper body (control group) or lower body (intervention group) resistance training. Athletes attended supervised training sessions twice per week for 12 weeks, after which they were re-tested.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • at least one year experience playing organized sports

Exclusion criteria

  • previous experience with resistance training
  • any injury with a pain level of more than 3/10 on VAS
  • any health condition that would preclude them from completing the training or testing
  • previous experience using a Biodex dynamometer

Treatment and study plan

Leg training

Other

Lower body resistance training twice per week for one hour each time.

Arm training

Upper body resistance training twice per week for one hour each time.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Landing Error Scoring System score from Baseline to 12 weeks.

    Time frame: Baseline and 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Neuromuscular power of the hip abductors measured by a Biodex isokinetic dynamometer

    Time frame: 12 weeks
