ACL Injury Prevention Training Program -PEP presented by Dr. Elizabeth Ignacio
Background
The ACL Prevention Project training program was created by the
Santa Monica Orthopaedic
and Sports Medicine Foundation to decrease the
number of ACL injuries in female soccer
players. In the recent past there
has been a significant increase in the number of injuries in
female
athletes, particularly among soccer players. Studies show that female soccer
player's risk
of an ACL injury is two to eight times that of men. Adding
neuromuscular and proprioceptive
exercises to the training regimen can
reduce the number of ACL injuries by two to four fold.
ACL Injury Prevention
Program Overview
The ACL Injury Prevention Program is a highly specific
15-minute training session that replaces
the traditional warm-up. It was
developed by a team of physicians, physical therapists, athletic
trainers
and coaches. The program goal is to teach
players strategies to avoid injury
by:
1. Avoiding vulnerable positions
2. Increasing flexibility
3.
Increasing strength
4. Including plyometric exercises in training
5.
Increasing propoception
Optimally the program should be performed at least
2-3 times per week during the season.This
program consists of a warm-up,
stretching, strengthening, plyometrics, and sport specific agility
training.
It is important to use proper technique during jumping moves (jump straight up
and
down jumps without excessive side-to-side movement), and aim for soft
landings
