Female Athlete ACL Injury Prevention Training Part 2

In last week’s article we discussed stability and landing mechanics as being two of the most important aspects to train when it comes to ACL injury prevention in the female athlete. This week we will break down two other just as important aspects of sports performance training to focus on to bulletproof those knees!

Weight Transfer

Understanding how to absorb and distribute your weight efficiently is everything when it comes to reducing wear and tear on the joints, especially the knees. As you’ll see in the video the focus is getting your knees to track in-line with your hips and ankles so all joints can work in unison, taking the pressure off the knees.

 

Mobility

Not only is increasing your mobility important but the ability to be strong all the way through that range of motion is what will really help you reduce your ACL injury risk. As you can see in the video, if your end range of motion is like the first half of the video you wont be able to absorb almost any impact and all the pressure will be absorbed into your joints creating a plethora of injuries over the long term.

That concludes this 2 part series of ACL injury prevention techniques, if you missed part 1 you can go check it out here! If you have any questions or would like to get assessed to see where you stand in these 4 areas of performance send us a message we’d love to help you out!

    Kettlebells are all you need in your home gym

    Kettlebells and athletic training- Unleash the potential!   I’m often asked what equipment someone should buy for their home gym – a treadmill, a bench press, a hex bar, TRX, etc. My answer is always the same: save your money and invest in kettlebells.

    What Boxing Means to Me-Part 5: The Itch to Get Back in the Gym

    Part 5: The Itch to Get Back in the Gym In 2018, I was promoted at work. Just ten weeks later, I was demoted for something completely out of my control. It hit me hard… for about ten minutes. Then I did what boxing had always taught me to do, roll with the punches. I…

    Unlocking Performance from the Ground Up Pt. 1: Ankles

    Your ankles are the first point of contact with the ground, playing a key role in balance, shock absorption, and force transfer. If they’re stiff, unstable, or weak, it doesn’t just affect the ankles, it creates a ripple effect that can lead to issues in your knees, hips, or lower back. At Training Aspects, we…
