ACL injuries are all too common in sports that involve cutting, pivoting, and sudden changes of direction — but one key factor in prevention is often overlooked: your hamstring-to-quadricep (H:Q) ratio.
Stronger hamstrings help support the ACL and stabilize the knee, lowering the risk of sprains and tears. Warming up properly, building balanced leg strength, improving landing mechanics, and training agility all play a major role in keeping athletes safe.
Smart preparation today can help protect your knees for the season ahead. 🏃💥🏋️
An ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury is a common injury among athletes of various sports. In fact, it’s estimated that over 100,000 ACL injuries occur each year in the United States.
