How can i strengthen the ligaments around the knees, because i play soccer a lot and ping pong and they both require lots of knee bendin. thank you!

Strenghthen muscles: Please see my previous answer to this question if possible . Briefly , you cannot strengthen knee ligaments . You can, however, strengthen the muscles about the knee( quadriceps esp.) and improve proprioception(balance/ coordination).Good luck!
