Want to reduce risk of ACL injuries happening to you? We got you covered. **Jump training can reduce your risk of a common knee injury,*according to a study in Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport. Two youth soccer teams who went through a 90-minute warm-up during both their fall and spring season showed predictive capabilities for injury risk in athletes but did not evaluate injury endpoints. The study found that when examining athletes who were “high injury risk” prior to the season, athletes who received preventive training both seasons were more likely to improve injury risk classification than their peers. Researchers do not exactly know whether the benefits resulted from repeated bouts of injury prevention trying or from the professional instruction but it has proven to reduce the risk of lower extremity injury throughout the athlete’s career.
