| Fast Facts About Jumps And ACL Injuries |
Did you know that girls/women jump differently than men? The factors listed below predispose female athletes to more leg injuries.
1. Women jump and land in a more upright position.
2. Women land with greater ground-reaction forces.
3. Women jump with incorrect knee position.
The Science: The majority of non-contact ACL injuries occur during jumping or side-to-side, change of direction activities.
The Answer: Train or re-train jumping and landing technique. Change technique on side step or cutting maneuvers. Strengthen the leg muscles, glutes, hamstrings and the core.
|
To learn the correct jumping and landing mechanics, go to: How To Jump And Land To Prevent Injuries , listed in our section on ACL Injuries.
Check out Margaret’s “live” articles at www.ezinearticles.com . She is an expert author and performance coach that has been mentoring and training female athletes for 25 years.
