Effect of Neck Training on Outcomes Related to Sport-Related Concussion

Summary

Sport-related concussion (SRC) is a significant concern in soccer. This pilot quasi-experimental trial aims to investigate the efficacy and acceptability of an evidence-based neck resistance exercise program in female soccer athletes for SRC prevention. The 8-week intervention includes dynamic and static neck exercises designed to reduce linear and rotational head accelerations, improve neck muscle strength, and minimise SRC risk. The study will evaluate program outcomes through laboratory testing, questionnaires, and user feedback. Findings from this pilot study will inform the design and implementation of a full-scale study, aiming to advance preventive strategies in SRC and address the underrepresentation of female athletes in research.
