ACL Prevention Program

3/27/2021

0 Comments

 

The ACL or anterior cruciate ligament is one of four ligaments providing stability to your knee. The ACL in particular aids in lateral movement and change of direction. In lacrosse, we know that these two things are key concepts of the game. As female athletes we are biologically more susceptible to an acl injury at some point in our athletic career. Research attributes this to a multitude of possibilities whether it be; hormone levels, biomechanics, ligament strength, or fatigue. The ACL prevention program is a great way to lower our risk of a tear at some point down the line. In order to best protect our athletes at Cardinal Girls Lacrosse we have incorporated the ACL Prevention program into our daily warm-up. You will need a ladder and a mini band to put around your quads.


  1. Jog
