Don 't Tear It?

Although many believe that head to ball contact is the problem of causing concussions. It’s actually head to head, head to ground, head to shoulder, head to pole...etc that are the problems. Physical contact in the air is probably the most dangerous part of girls soccer. You either hit your head somehow or when you land it's hard on knees. Social

There are several different kinds of "common" injuries such as a broken leg, rolled ankle, or a sprained knee. The one I will be researching and describing is the ACL injury. Which is one of the most common sports injuries? As Medical Definition states, "The ACL is a ligament in the knee that crosses from the underside of the femur (the thigh bone) to the top of the tibia (the bigger bone in the lower leg)." In essence, the ACL is a vital part of an athlete 's lateral lower body movement which is crucial in any sport where an athlete or a person moves their legs. Therefore players who participate in any kind of activity that involves moving their lower body need their ACL to function in their activity, or just to even

Roughly seventy percent of ACL injuries are non-contact in nature. To prevent non-contact ACL damages in feminine basketball

Females and males are different in many aspects in sports. The way they play, the way they approach a game, but most of all, females and males differ in their skeleton structure, making them more susceptible to ACL injuries.

INCREASE IN TEARS Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are receiving a great deal of notice because of the incidence of injury that occurs not only in the athletic population but also in those individuals who are recreationally active (Russell, 2006). Each year in the United States there are approximately 250,000 ACL injuries. This is approximately 1 in 3,000 in the general population (Boden, 2000). Of these injuries, about 175,000 require reconstructive surgery. These surgeries had an estimated cost of over two billion dollars annually in the United States (Yu, 2007). These statistics alone make it obvious that this injury occurs very often. The ACL is one of the most commonly disrupted ligaments in the knee. While the prevalence of the injury has increased, so has the number of athletes in the world since ACL injury research first began. Women are now allowed to participate in sports and new sports are being participated in

In sport an ACL injury is the most frequently ruptured ligament of the knee (Johnson, 1983), it is described by Flynn 2005 as a serious, common and costly injury (Flynn, 2005). In many cases an ACL injury is the result of noncontact and studies done by Barrett et al 1972 and Beckett et al 1992 support this as they reported that 78% and 71% of ACL injured patients described noncontact mechanisms of injury such as landing with too much knee extension or change in direction (pivoting) (Barrett et al 1972 and Beckett et al 1992) and also can happen due to contact such dominant kicking leg, fall on the knee or even a forceful blow to the knee. Bjordal et al 1997, in their findings showed that 58% and 42% of ACL injuries were

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the most common knee injuries in female sports today. The ACL is a ligament that attaches the femur and tibia to the knee allowing the knee to bend while still being stable and supporting the whole body. Dr. Russel F. Warren, a physician for the New York Giants football team, explains, “The ACL prevents the shin bone (tibia) from moving too far forward on the thigh bone (femur) and keeps the knee from twisting inward excessively.” When athletes tear their ACL there is a greater chance that they have hurt or another ligament in their knee such as the LCL, MCL or Meniscus; which is cartilage that absorbs shock from the body’s pressure (MedlinePlus). The ACL is strong, but one wrong move could result

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries comprise some of the highest incidents in athletic injuries, comprising up to a total of 3-5% (1) with nearly 70% coming from non-contact mechanisms. (2,3) Moreover, these injuries can lead to loss of time on the field in around 88% of the time (1). There is a substantial difference in gender as well, with female athletes being of higher risk to sustain an ACL injury. (4, 5, 6) Overall, ACL injuries can lead to early sport terminaton in athletes as well as serious disabilities in the non-athletic population (7).(Siegel’s anatomy, physiology, and pathol….(29))

H1: Implementing an exercise program on high school female soccer athletes will increase hamstring strength which is our surrogate marker for ACL tears.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) are all too in today’s athletic injuries, comprising up to a total of 3-5%. (1) Nearly 70% of these stem from non-contact mechanisms. (2,3) Moreover, these injuries can lead to loss of time on the field in around 88% of cases. (1) There is a substantial difference in gender as well, with female athletes being at higher risk to sustain an ACL injury.

One of the most common injuries related to the knee is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury. This is a tear or sprain that affects the knee joints and can be treated via surgery. Notably, athletes such as footballers and basketballers are more prone to these type of injuries than people who do not engage in sports activities. What is more, these types of injuries usually range from the simple and small sprains to the severe injuries where the ACL is torn completely. Although anterior cruciate ligament injuries are common, female are more vulnerable to the injuries than their male counterparts. Particularly, the incidence rate of females is about 9.7 times more probable to occur than the men participating in the same activities (Renstrom

An ACL is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) which is a ligament in the knee and is an essential internal stabilizer of the knee joint and helps in restraining hyperextension. It is injured when it’s when the biomechanics of this ligaments limits are exceeded or over stretched, often with a hyperextended mechanic. It was thought that this occurred in sports where there was a lot of contact and when other structures were often involved. In the present day, the ACL injury seems to be more of a contactless injury such as; a dismount from a layup in basketball. Both forms of the injury occur more frequently in athletes than in the general population. They are also more established in alpine skiing, Association football, American football, Australian Rules football, basketball, rugby, professional wrestling, martial arts, and artistic gymnastics. It is also three times more likely to happen in males then it is in male athletes. The consequences of the injury are down to how much of the knee stability is affected and if injuries to other structures are badly damaged. This all varies from each and

This randomized study included Twenty-six patients with an acute ACL injury or ruptures of ACL grafts. To be involved in the study patients had to have a unilateral ACL injury, be free of other ligament or meniscal damage that would requiring surgical repair, and pass an examination designed to identify patients who would had the potential to return to a high-level physical activity with nonoperative treatments. Patients also have regular participation in some level I activities (eg, soccer, footbof all, basketball) or some level II activities (eg, racquet sports, skiing, construction work). Patients were randomly assigned to either a group that received the standard

Her enthusiastic response was that she simply needed to get on the field. When her leg felt better, she attempted to play once more, however the torment returned. Anne's doctor sent Anne for a X-ray test. The pictures uncovered a torn ligament in her cleared out knee. A ligament is a piece of sinewy tissue that crosses a joint, interfacing two bones and help you move without torment. At the point when the torn knee ligament was affirmed by the X-ray, she was pitiful, she says. She realized that she would miss her entire first year recruit secondary school soccer season. The damage Anne experienced is not bizarre for youthful female competitors to encounter. It is something they fear, however, more often than not it requires surgery and an extensive recuperation. It's additionally something that medicinal specialists are taking a stab at concentrating on with an end goal to keep young ladies from anguish. Any game that includes turning, hopping, prompt stops, or fast alters in course builds the danger of harming the ligament that Anne harmed. That ligament is known as the foremost cruciate ligament (ACL). It's one of four noteworthy ligaments that hold the knee together, interfacing the femur (thighbone) to the tibia (shinbone). Around 90,000 secondary school and school competitors in the United States endure ACL wounds each year. Female competitors are progressively powerless against ACL

While attending Bacone me and a peer completed a projected called “Torque” which was a research report focused on sport related ACL injuries and resistance training. Female soccer players are among the highest percentage of athletes who suffer sport related ACL injuries due lack of correct
