Summary

There is a large number of young women who sustain serious knee injuries from playing soccer. Female athletes are at high risk of knee injuries from soccer than males. We will conduct a research project to assess the effect of a warm-up on changing some of the movement patterns thought to contribute to these serious knee injuries.

It is hypothesized that a core position and control movement strategy (Core-PAC) group reduce biomechanical risk factors at the knee compared to a control after the training program.

Conditions

  • ACL Injury

Interventions

OTHER

Core-PAC

Core position and control movement strategy (Core-PAC): Do warm-up prior to 6 weeks of regular soccer training for peak flexion angles and peak abduction moments at the knee during a side-cut (SC) and an unanticipated side-cut (USC) prior to kicking a soccer ball and a side-hop (SH) task.
