Brief Summary: The goal of this Randomized clinical trial is to learn about how fixing neck curvature and head posture right away affects heart rate brainwaves and muscle coordination in college athletes The main question it aims to answer

- Whether forward head posture FHP may play a crucial role in affecting heart rate variability brainwaves and muscle coordination
Detailed Description: Background Restoring normal cervical spine alignment has emerged as one of the most important clinical outcomes in healthcare However the question of whether cervical biomechanical dysfunction manifesting as forward head posture FHP may play a crucial role in affecting heart rate variability as an indicator of the autonomic nervous system electroencephalography EEG pattern as indictor for brain waves and corticomuscular coherence as an indicator of the functional connection between the cortex and muscles during continuous muscle contractions among collegiate athletes has not been answered yet

Objective To investigate the immediate and long-term effects of cervical lordosis restoration and forward head correction using the Denneroll on heart rate variability EEG pattern and corticomuscular coherence among collegiate athletes

Methods Eighty asymptomatic subjects with a definite hypolordotic cervical spine and FHP will be randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group The experimental group will receive the Denneroll cervical traction while the control group will be considered as a wait list to start the intervention after completion of the experimental group Interventions will be applied 3 times per week for a period of 10 weeks Changes in heart rate variability EEG pattern and corticomuscular coherence will be assessed at three-time intervals at baseline after 10 weeks of intervention and at 6-months follow up with no further interventions
