Description
Summary:A subsequent intervention study, implementing a functional resistance training program involving players with a multifidus CSA below 8.2cm2, increased this CSA value. The aim of this current study, as a final review of the Translating Research into Injury Prevention Practice (TRIPP) protocol, is to ascertain whether this increase in multifidus muscle size then leads to a reduction of time loss lower limb injury risk. Using a functional resistance training program, the size of the lumbar multifidus muscles can be increased.
