    72.5% ACL injuries in @NFL are non-contact (Johnston et al, 2018). 34/50 of these however were considered indirect contact. Don't overlook perturbation drills in your "injury prevention programs". Here are some examples you could adapt to your sport. LINK: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29466019

    67% of non-contact ACL injuries in females can be prevented with the regular implementation of ACL injury prevention programs. According to Petushek et al (2018), exercises like these can help! 10-15mins before every training session and game is all it takes 👍 #NoBrainer #Physio

    Great share by @robhobscience 👏 👏 Check out the springs on this athlete! This is how you should do your box jumps; It's not about how much you can flex your hips and knees to get on top of a box stacked with a silly amount of 20kg plates...
