Brief Summary

While much evidence exists to support the association between physical training and improved motor skill performance, there is little evidence that supports the association between movement education and improved motor skill performance. In short, the investigators would like to study the effect of movement education (as provided by the Sports Safety athlete education program) on immediate and sustained changes in motor skill performance (jumping and landing technique) using the Dynamic Athletic Research Institute (DARI) motion capture system. This study will evaluate the change in motor performance for high school athletes who did and did not attend the Sport Safety athlete Education Program.

Study Arms (2)

Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Movement Education Workshop

Other: Movement education workshop

Control Group

SHAM COMPARATOR

Sham Education Workshop

Other: Sham Education Workshop

Interventions

Movement education workshop OTHER

30 minutes total: * 10 minutes sedentary activity (LE injury risk factor and anatomy instruction) * 10 minutes moderate activity (guided discovery of body segment alignment and stability with squat, lunge, plank, jump, and hop technique assessment and corrective feedback) * 10 minutes vigorous activity (practical application of body segment alignment and stability including hopping, jumping, and running activities with technique assessment and corrective feedback) For the month following the athlete workshop, prior to the final assessment, subjects will receive periodic text message instructions. These messages will include key facts and takeaways from the workshop, and reminders about correct form.

Intervention Group

Sham Education Workshop OTHER

30 minutes total: * 10 minute sedentary activity (sleep, nutrition, and hydration instruction) * 10 minutes moderate activity (performance of squat, lunge, plank, jump, and hop activities - no technique assessment or corrective feedback) * 10 minutes vigorous activity (hopping, jumping, and running activities - no technique assessment and corrective feedback)
