NECK STRENGTH

There are several factors in reducing head and neck injury risk in contact sports, including:

• Technique – for example safe rugby tackle technique, heading a football safely.

• Anticipation – developing an understanding of when contact is imminent, and how to prepare for it.

• Reaction Time – being able to move to an optimal (and safe) position as quickly as possible.

• Peripheral Vision – visual awareness of the space and people around you increases the time you have to prepare for contact.

One of the key factors for reducing injury risk is neck strength – there is evidence that an increase in neck strength is correlated with a reduction in head injury.
