Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, student-athletes are experiencing unprecedented time away from sport, resulting in an increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries upon return. A-G and Sparta are working together to provide a solution that will help measure an individual’s readiness for sport, injury risk, and return-to-play timelines.
Sparta will be offering 10 hours of testing to all current A-G clients. When bundled together, A-G and Sparta can provide up to 48% reduction in surgeries and a possible 45% annual reduction in insurance claims associated with injuries*.

With student-athletes returning to activity after such an extended time away, the data suggests a 3-4 time increase in soft tissue injury and the medical expenses that result from it.” commented A-G Administrators’ Chief Marketing Officer, James Shipp, ATC. “A-G is thrilled to partner with Sparta to assist our clients in mitigating these risks and potential expenses.”
