Study Summary
This trial will study whether one-week training of falling techniques can help reduce the risk of ACL injuries compared to soft-landing techniques.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for young recreational athletes aged 14-30 who play sports involving jump-landing activities at least once a week and exercise twice a week. It's not for those with allergies to adhesives, pregnant individuals, people with conditions limiting full sporting effort, or those with recent major injuries/surgeries.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how one-week training in falling techniques affects landing mechanics related to ACL injury risk compared to soft-landing methods. It looks at immediate effects and retention after two weeks, aiming for safer landings without significant injuries.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the training program aims to be safe, participants might experience minor bruises during the process. No moderate or major injuries are expected as part of this safety-focused intervention.
