Study purpose:
We aim to measure the 2D kinematics of recreational divers and quantified head, neck, and body postures over a range of dives (from shallow to deep dives) initiated from different initial heights relative to the water surface, gaining more understanding of injuries caused by diving head first into a body of water. Your goal during the study will be diving into water at different angles from different heights.
You may be eligible to participate if:
• Age 19 – 30
• Be capable of dive 50-60 times into water from up to 1m above
• Have no injury sustained in the previous three months that affects your ability to dive
• Have no history of neck pain or injury
• Have no neurological, balance, or musculoskeletal disorders
• Fully vaccinated against COVID-19
