A PhD candidate at Virginia Tech developed a study called “Project Neck” designed to strengthen the neck, head and upper back muscles in an effort to prevent concussions. Ralph Cornwell will be creating a “mathematical model that will show the different outcomes on concussion-inducing forces on people who followed his protocol and those who did not.” The idea of the training is that the strengthening of the neck muscles will help to disperse the energy transfer from a hard force, thereby reducing the concussion risk.
