Abstract

This study aims to first outline the “ideal” parameters for the nordboard and force plate data for each position on the offensive line. From there, there are two options, to either influence recruiting and to focus on prospects that match these profiles, or to take current athletes on the team and try to better mold them to their position and it’s physiological needs. In addition, it can help to establish parameters to help reduce injury risk by position, particularly focusing on the hamstrings (Newton et al, 2006). Knee health is crucial for offensive linemen and the knee braces help, but can help to further reinforce the joints and keep more athletes on the field.
