A few ACL Q's and Observations
The ACL is protected when there is more knee flexion - yet we commonly train "landing mechanics" in stiff extended positions?
When an ACL is ruptured during a cut, a large reason is the excess load (strongly related to GRF). So why spend more time coaching outside foot cutting than other step skills like inside leg braking to reduce the load where needed?
If an ACL is ruptured in a COD but more knee flexion and less GRF were likely to protect it then why is a greater portion of training about plyometrics and concentric strength then yielding and eccentric strength?
If a significant portion of ACL ruptures come from COD actions, why does the average prevention plan have no COD skill development? Other than the limited outside foot cutting stuff
