Best of luck for a full and speedy recovery. The ACL issue within women's lacrosse is very troubling. I know that most programs have a vigorous ACL injury prevention workout regime. Adhering to that type of program can reduce the incidence by more than half, but as we are seeing this year at Syracuse, BC and NU, even the best-funded programs have issues. I wonder if there needs to be a full evaluation of this issue considering a broad range of solutions. There are challenges with every one of these paths, but I'll throw a few out there:seacoaster wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 7:49 pmSorry to hear this.

SOME TERRIFIC THOUGHTS... BUT TURF SHOES ON WET/SLICK SURFACES ARE REALLY DANGEROUS. ALSO TOO MANY YOUGER FEMALE PLAYERS PLAYING IN RUNNING TYPE SHOES THAT HAVE LITTLE IF ANY LATERAL SUPPORT.Can Opener wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 12:26 pmBest of luck for a full and speedy recovery.

* Turf shoes only allowed -- no cleats longer than 1/2"
* Only grass fields allowed
* Prophylactic knee braces required
* Require MRI to determine risk of ACL injury (expense of this would be offset by the medical expenses of only one ACL repair)
* Limit on-field practice time, but increase amount of time allowed for team gym work
* Mandated "quiet periods" where no practice or games are allowed (fatigue is a factor in ACL injuries). This is analogous the NFLPA negotiating for bye weeks and no pads practices.
* Nutrition and sleep guidance -- required course for all coaches and D1 players
That's true. Almost every girl I know that tore their acl did so during that time. As the Yale article states it has to do with the Estrogen production and the increase in the elasticity of their tendons.livelovelax wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 8:19 am Footwear can be an issue but with women/girls, they are 8 times more likley to tear an ACL then men during their menstrual cycle from what I have read.
Doesn't mean it's not true but the data doesn't seem to support this theory yet. At least from this study. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5524267/livelovelax wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 8:19 am Footwear can be an issue but with women/girls, they are 8 times more likley to tear an ACL then men during their menstrual cycle from what I have read.
Conclusion:
The literature suggests an association between hormonal fluctuations and ACL injury. Recent studies have suggested that oral contraceptives may offer up to a 20% reduction in risk of injury. The literature on ACL injuries and the menstrual cycle has more than doubled over the past decade, permitting quantitative analysis for the first time. However, the overall strength of this evidence is low. Promising potential directions for future research include long-term observational studies with ongoing hormonal assays and large interventional trials of follicular suppression, including newer hormonal methods.
It's not necessarily be a "problem" with footwear, but the use of sneakers and shoes designed for other movements. Many sneakers, especially running sneakers like Dasher mentioned, are designed for sagittal plane (forward & backward) movements like walking or running. They're designed to help the foot move forward and don't have much lateral support. So they're actually is no problem with the design. They're designed very well for what they're supposed to do.
Seen them a lot for ankles too. USC had so many women in them I remember wondering if they were wearing them prophylactically too. And when I say prophylactics I’m specifically talking about braces. I think the prophylactic stuff built in to strength and conditioning programs is good.
Thanks for this post and these links. Can you sum up what you would have as a regular in-practice regime for warding off and reducing these sorts of injuries?westcoastlax wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 7:39 pm There are many factors associated with ACL tears. ACL injury prevention should be an important part of all lacrosse teams' off-season training.
If you like more information on this topic, please read the research from Tim Hewitt, Ph.D. from the Mayo clinic. He is the leading researcher on ACL tears and ACL tear prevention. He has done fantastic work on this topic over the last 20 years.
