Participants were indoctrinated in the rationale and theory behind the scientifically-proven training program, Sportsmetrics™, by founder Dr. Frank Noyes during the third Sportsmetrics Certification Course at Cincinnati Sportsmedicine Research and Education Foundation in Deaconess Hospital. Practical training sessions and hands-on preparation for Sports Injury Testing were led by Cincinnati Sportsmedicine Research and Education Foundation faculty Sue Barber-Westin, Cathy Walsh and Cassie Fleckenstein. This Course brings the total number of Certified Clinical Sites for Sportsmetrics™ to 20 in the United States and 1 in Canada! All these sites will be providing not only training but also much-needed education and awareness in their communities about the need for specific training to meet the needs of female athletes. They will be integral research partners for further development and implementation of female athlete injury prevention training programs.
