Study Summary

This trial is testing the effects of a 12-week training program using the TopSpin360 device on neck strength and sprinting performance in female athletes. The hypothesis is that the training will improve neck strength and sprinting times.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy adult female varsity athletes from Western University's soccer and rugby teams. Participants must be medically cleared for off-season training and over the age of 18.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a TopSpin360 neuromuscular training device, aiming to boost neck strength and sprint performance through a 12-week program involving supervised sessions three times weekly.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly mentioned, potential side effects may include muscle soreness or strain due to the new exercise regimen with the TopSpin360 device.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: multiplanar neuromuscular training armExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The intervention arm will be involved in the training intervention outlined. Briefly, each participant will be asked to train on the TopSpin360 3 times per week for 3-5 sets for the duration of the study. Each set will take roughly 15-30 seconds to perform and training will take part during regularly scheduled training sessions.
