| Neuromuscular warm-up | Behavioral | The intervention group replaced their regular warm-up routine with seven neuromuscular warm-up exercises performed for 15 minutes prior to each practice session (3x/week) over a period of eleven weeks. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from Baseline: Static postural control | Postural sway (center of pressure sway velocity) during unipedal quiet standing, eyes opened (20 seconds) | 3, 6, 9, and 11 weeks |
| Change from Baseline: Dynamic postural control | Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) | 3, 6, 9, and 11 weeks |
