Experimental
Intervention
When enrolled into the study, the participants will be asked to join a group in WhatsApp for purposes of the research study. The application will be used to: deliver reminders for each treatment session; deliver daily prompts for the home exercise program; and present a web-link to the home exercise program (HEP). Participants will receive physical therapist delivered multi-modal sensorimotor training interventions. The exercises delivered at each intervention will be delivered in a group format, using a circuit of exercises that each athlete will complete in a session. Subsequent sessions will build upon previous sessions to work the sensorimotor control system in progressively more challenging and sport-specific scenarios. This present study will complete 8 sessions over 4 weeks.
