What do you attribute to the rise of acl injuries in college and pro sports?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Female athletes: There is certainly an increased incidence of acl tears in female athletes. This has been studied quite extensively, and the consensus is generally that it is related to the way many female athletes jump and land. There is sime vewry good preseason training programs to improve strength, balance and flexibility, that has been shown to decrease the incidence of acl tears.
