Want to help reduce the risk of non-contact ACL injuries on the basketball court? 🏀
A lot of ACL tears happen during jumping and landing, especially when the body is not absorbing force properly.
When it comes to safer landings, there are 3 big things to focus on:
✅ Absorb the force by bending at the hips and knees instead of landing stiff
✅ Watch your knee alignment and avoid letting the knees cave inward
✅ Practice quiet landings since a quiet landing usually means your body is absorbing impact the right way
A simple way to build this is through progression:
Start with the squat and learn how to hinge at the hips and bend the knees properly
Add the push-off by driving through the calves
Progress to the full jump and landing while staying controlled, quiet, and strong
Better mechanics can mean better performance and a lower risk of injury. 🙌
