Stop ACL injuries before they happen

Did you know 70% of ACL tears are non-contact injuries? This means they often occur due to movement and loading issues rather than collisions.

The good news is you can significantly reduce your risk with targeted training.

Here are the three key principles:

1. Proprioception and Balance Training

Improves body awareness and knee control

Includes single-leg stability exercises

Trains your nervous system to react protectively

2. Strength training

Builds protective strength in glutes, hamstrings and quadriceps

Should include eccentric loading exercises

3. Plyometrics and Agility

Teaches safe landing mechanics

Trains proper deceleration and cutting form

Quality of movement always comes before quantity

Pro tip: Prevention programs like FIFA 11 + have been shown to reduce ACL injuries by 50%
