Can you tell me is there a relation between obesity & acl injury?

Yes: Obesity can placed increased stress on your joints, which can increase the chances of injuring the acl. To lessen your chances of acl injury, lose weight, work on knee strengthening, work on balance exercises, and be cautious with cutting sports such as tennis.
