Effects of App-based Versus Personal On-site Instruction on Neuromuscular Activity in Injury Prevention Exercises

Immediate Effects of App-based Versus Personal On-site Instruction on Neuromuscular Activity in Injury Prevention Exercises: Randomized Controlled Trial

Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate neuromuscular characteristics observed during a single bout of selected and validated injury preventive exercises instructed by an app (in accordance with 'Get set - Train smarter') versus gold standard instruction, supervision and feedback provided on-site by an expert. The present evaluation targets a population of female football and handball players without any previous exposure to injury prevention training.

Inclusion Criteria:

• female handball or football player (≥ 18 years old) competing at sub-elite level (i.e., 2-3 weekly training sessions)

Exclusion Criteria:

• previous traumatic knee injury, lower limb injury at the time of testing and/or previous engagement in injury prevention practices.
