With many people becoming more active not only for health reasons, but also for recreational activities, the incidence of ACL/MCL knee injuries is increasing rapidly. A majority of these injuries are non-contact in nature and occur while planting and cutting or landing from a jump. With proper stabilization of the knee joint, the likelihood of a non-contact injury can be greatly decreased. The squat jump to stabilization exercise serves as a mandatory precursor to all high impact plyometrics. If you follow this rule, not only will you minimize the chance of injury, you will reach higher levels of peak performance for your individual body. Check out this video and start practicing!
