Arthritis & Sports ACL Injury Prevention Program
Take your game to the next level with Sportsmetrics™
Did you know? Each year in the U.S., 1 in 100 female high school athletes will suffer a serious knee injury.
Our Sportsmetrics™ ACL Injury Prevention Program is a comprehensive jump training program that combines plyometrics, strength training and flexibility. It is the only scientifically proven program that reduces the risk of knee injury, increases jump power and improves leg strength for sports like soccer, basketball and volleyball that involve pivoting, cutting or jumping. This is an excellent program for both girls and boys!
Why is Sportsmetrics™ Training so unique?
Sportsmetrics™ is not just another plyometric training program. Training progresses from technique development to performance enhancement with each session building on the previous bout of training. The strength and flexibility components have also been carefully reviewed for safety and effectiveness. Essential to the success of the athlete is the trainer interaction and feedback throughout the program. Student to trainer ratios are kept at 10 to 1 or better to ensure that each athlete receives individualized recommendations and attention.
What can Sportsmetrics™ Training do for me?
Sportsmetrics™ is the first program scientifically proven to decrease knee injuries in female athletes. Neuromuscular training not only increases muscular power and jump height, but also decreases impact forces at the knee. Sportsmetrics™ is the program that focuses on the female athlete’s needs in training, but Sportsmetrics™ is not just for females! Males will benefit from developing overall leg strength and perfecting jumping and landing mechanics, too.
