“An Athlete’s Nightmare: Tearing the ACL. “U.S National Library of Medicine. U.S. National Library of Medicine. Web. 9 Dec. 2014.
Summary
A young soccer star is forced to deal with the traumatic effects of tearing her ACL. However, the most prevalent reasoning for this scenario being so tragic is the duration of time that the athlete is forced to sit out of games, practices and physical fitness. On a surprising note, most ACL tears are not due to contract with other players similar to most injuries, but are typically caused by reactions to competitors. In the research behind the ACL, a study proved that women are also more prone to ACL tears than men. Many male athletes tear the ACL as well but the male body has a higher reliance on ligaments versus tendons so the chances are lowered.
Potential Quotes
“ACL injury is usually caused by a sudden deceleration or landing maneuver with the leg in a vulnerable position.” This shows the most common cause to tearing an athlete’s ACL.
“The alignment of women’s knees tend to bend inward when women land.” Gives another example as to why women are more prone to this injury then males.
“Dr. Boden believes that one of the major reasons any athlete suffers ACL damage is because they land in a flat-footed position, as opposed to landing on the balls of their feet. ‘If the calf muscles are not absorbing the force, and if the knee is not in the proper position, the knee buckles and tears the ACL,’ explains Dr. Boden.” Giving expert knowledge to further explain the body in this event.
Reflection
