Feasibility and Effectiveness of a Novel Neck Training Device

Brief Summary

Functional training focusing on dynamic, multiplanar eccentric loading of the neck's complex musculature may provide a unique training effect that may protect against neck injuries and mTBI. The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy and adherence of a 12-week TopSpin360 training regimen on important physiologic and performance outcome measures between an intervention group and a control group. The specific aims are 1) to compare differences in four physiologic neck measures and two TopSpin360 performance measures by group and gender, and 2) to evaluate program adherence.
