KNEEFIT ACL Injury Prevention Program

Knee injuries are extremely com­mon is sports. Dam­age to the Ante­rior Cru­ci­ate Lig­a­ment (ACL) is seri­ous – and may end a career. For­tu­nately, there are steps ath­letes (and their coaches) can take to reduce the risk.

DID YOU KNOW:

• Females are 3–9 times more likely to tear their ACL than males involved in the same sport.
• ACL injuries account for more than 30% of all sports related surgery
• Over 70% of ACL injuries are non-contact due to sim­ple actions such as land­ing from a jump or plant­ing a foot to stop or change direction.

ACL injury pre­ven­tion pro­grams have been shown to decrease ACL injury rates up to 90%. Our KNEEFIT exer­cises help ath­letes by train­ing the neu­ro­mus­cu­lar sys­tem to reduce stress on the ACL and avoid sus­cep­ti­ble positions.

Team KNEEFIT

Team KNEEFIT is a 20 minute, 4 part exer­cise pro­gram designed to build the strength and body aware­ness nec­es­sary to safe guard the ACL. Coaches of all lev­els can eas­ily incor­po­rate KNEEFIT into reg­u­lar train­ing ses­sions but learn­ing proper tech­nique is key. In our team train­ing ses­sion, you will learn tech­nique needed to teach the cor­rec­tive exercises.
