Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are disabling injuries that place a significant burden on the athlete. Roughly 80% of these injuries are linked to a noncontact mechanism, with more than 70% of them occurring while landing from a jump. Female athletes are at higher risk of sustaining a noncontact ACL injury due to the higher number of risk factors that they possess compared to their male counterparts. Due to this statistic, ACL prevention programs have been developed over the past 15 years in attempt to reduce this risk among the female athletic population. These programs have been shown to reduce the rate of noncontact ACL injuries in females by correcting the risk factors associated with them. However, it remains unclear as to whether these positive results are solely due to the program or a higher exercise workload in its participants. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness that an ACL prevention program has on modifying at-risk landing mechanics (associated with noncontact ACL injury) compared to a resistance training program of equal workload.

Primary | Change in Knee separation during the Drop Jump Test | Participants will begin the test by standing on a box, dropping off, landing straight in front of the box, and immediately performing a maximum vertical jump. Following the completion of the three trials, the examiner chooses the trial in which the participant has the highest jump to best represent the participant's jumping ability for video analysis. The following images will be captured as still photographs: (1) pre-landing; (2) land; and (3) takeoff. | 1 week prior to training begins, and 1 week after training finishes. | |
Secondary | Changes in Vertical Jump Test | Each participant's standing reach will be recorded prior to performing the test. The participants will perform three trials, with the highest jump height being recorded. Participants will begin the test by standing directly underneath the Vertec markers and jumping vertically while reaching with their hand to swipe the highest marker possible. Arm swing will be allowed for the jump, but an approach-step will not. | 1 week prior to training begins, and 1 week after training finishes |
