Sensorimotor Training for Injury Prevention in Collegiate Soccer Players II

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of an injury prevention intervention delivered primarily using headset virtual reality for collegiate soccer players. The hypothesis is that measures of sensorimotor control will improve, injury incidence rate will decrease and on-field soccer performance will improve.
