Study Arms (3)

ACL Return to Play

A specific training program, with emphasis on hamstring strengthening. There will also be a specificity on pivoting and jumping safely.

Gait Retraining

Will receive training that is specific to running. Drills will help enforce a more efficient running form, as well as strengthening important muscle groups such as the hip abductors and adductors.

Private Training

Participants will receive a broad training program, targeting all major muscle groups. The goal is to increase muscle strength, mobility and aerobic capacity to reduce the risk of injury.
