Reducing ACL Injury Prevention among High School Basketball Players
Carter Townsend; Jiling Liu
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v37 n6 p31-36 2024
Among the body's mechanical systems that contribute to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, hamstrings, quadriceps, and knee flexor muscles are the most prominent components. A strength imbalance to any of these muscles can cause damage to ACL-associated ligaments (Takahashi et al., 2019). To reduce the incidence of such injuries, it is critical to implement strategies that focus on strengthening these muscles evenly and increase the overall balance, flexibility, and strength of basketball players. This article will share a few exercises that can strengthen ACL-associated muscles and can be easily implemented in a typical high school training session. To increase the effectiveness of these exercises, it is recommended to use therabands.
