Article Synopsis
- Player-to-player contact is the leading cause of head impacts in collegiate ice hockey, and 3D-MOT training was tested to see if it could help players better anticipate these impacts.
- The study involved 33 NCAA Division III ice hockey players split into a 3D-MOT training group and a control group, with the training occurring twice a week over a 12-week season while monitoring head impacts during games and practices.
- Results showed that 3D-MOT forwards experienced higher mean peak head impact intensity compared to control forwards, while 3D-MOT defensemen had lower head impact intensity than their control counterparts, suggesting that player position could influence the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing head impacts.
