⚠️ACL Injuries have been shown to happen in the first 25-50ms⚠️

🦵your muscles might be strong enough, but can they REACT quickly enough when the mountain throws something unexpected at you?

⏱️rate of force development is a huge factor in injury prevention alongside neuromuscular control. The following exercises are some examples of exercises to add to your training

1/ split lunge rebound hops; pulse quickly away from the floor. Try maintain accuracy on the same point on the floor. Then progress to lateral rebounds

2/ bridge drills; start short lever, maintain neutral spine & quickly hop from leg to leg. Progress to straight legs ( get ready to feel your hamstrings)!

3/skater hops; lateral and forwards movements ; try to limit ground contact time. Don’t allow knees to collapse in

4/ step ups; try to explode up ( triple extension). Watch knee control ( no inward tracking of the knee )

5/ landing mechanics ; land soft and ensure knee tracks over 2/3rd toe . Progress to rebound hop & twist

6/ box jumps ; a classic! Option to use band to keep knees out over toes … add speed once movement is perfected

7/ glut max activation; static lunge & twist. Add front leg extension push & hop

8/ plank rebounds ; maintain core and Absorb the rebound

!!these are end stage pre/rehab exercises. Please get in touch if you have an injury and want personal advice on your rehab plan 🙏
