Core muscle strength and knee stability for injury prevention
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how your core (abdominal muscles) affects knee stability. It will test a training program to see if it helps prevent injuries. You will be randomly assigned to either the training group or a control group for 8 weeks.
