Hip acceleration

Falling safely training decreases hip acceleration in humans (ps < .001).
“Hip acceleration decreased significantly in both groups (ps < .001).”

Head acceleration
downin humans1
Falling safely training decreases head acceleration in humans (between-group mean difference = -9.54 m/s2, p = .028).
“This improvement coincided with a significant reduction in head acceleration in the FAST group compared to control (between-group mean difference = -9.54 m/s2, p = .028).”

Head impact count
downin humans1
Falling safely training decreases head impact count in humans (odds ratio = 0.10, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.61, p = .012).
“The FAST group had a greater reduction in the number of fall-related head impacts following the intervention (odds ratio = 0.10, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.61, p = .012).”
