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!
