It seems like this blog prompt has already been much easier
than the previous one. I don’t know why I had such a hard time with that one.
But back to this one, I found one article already on how to prevent ACL
injuries: 1) Bing Yu, et al. "Prevention Of ACL Injury, Part II: Effects
Of ACL Injury Prevention Programs On Neuromuscular Risk Factors And Injury
Rate." Research In Sports Medicine 20.3/4 (2012): 198-222. SPORTDiscus.
Web. 5 Oct. 2012. This article explains the many different tactics on how to
reduce the risk of injuring the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Such
tactics include multicomponent training and injury education. This is similar
to one of the books I cited last week in that it pretty much says athletes
should get educated and condition. Unlike one of my other cited books, this
article is regarding current issues of ACL injuries. I could use this article to,
of course, bring attention to prevention methods of a specific injury, such as
the ACL. This article is roughly 25 pages, so it should give me plenty of
detail to help me in my research. Another source I found was a brief article on
the latest research of sports injuries for soccer players: 2) Kirkendall, D.
"The Latest News: An Overview Of Some Of The Most Recent Soccer Related
Professional Research." Soccer Journal 48.3 (2003): 14-15. SPORTDiscus.
Web. 5 Oct. 2012. This article goes into detail about body size, maturity of
the youth, differences between gender, etc. It has studies from different
countries, which gives it more of a variety. Even though it’s much shorter than
the previous article and I can only get so much from it, it still gives me a
better understanding of how sports can affect an athlete. In a way it’s much
more specific, because it is based on injuries from soccer, not just any sport.
