Quite possibly the most important piece of a good ACL injury prevention training program.

Here is a quick breakdown of what to focus on when performing any squatting, lunging movements, especially single leg!

 

Landing Mechanics

Another essential attribute in training for ACL injury prevention is your landing mechanics. How you are landing and absorbing force is going to dictate whether your knees are taking the brunt of the force or if it’s being absorbed evenly throughout the body. When landing efficiently you want to distribute the force through your legs (quads and hamstrings) , hips and glutes, as well as the ankles and feet. Here is a quick breakdown.
