Injury Prevention:
A great web site to learn about establishing a conditioning program with exercises to help prevent ACL injuries - knee.
From Coach Mario Perez: Here is the web site for Santa Monica Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Group's ACL Prevention Project. Click on The PEP (Prevent injury, Enhance Performance) Program link and it will give you a description of the program. It will also let you download the program's exercises. I've used the PEP Program for the past 9 years with my teams and I highly recommend it. I have also included an article from FIFA about the Santa Monica Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Group.
