Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: 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.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male and female athletes
* 18 years of age or older
* on the soccer roster who are eligible to play in the fall 2019 season at the participating institutions.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Current diagnosis of concussion (i.e. a non-medically cleared concussion)
* Current lower-extremity musculoskeletal injury,
* Seizure disorder with photo sensitivity
* Other medical diagnosis that will prevent participation in the intervention.
