For over 15 years, investigators have developed a variety of ACL injury prevention programs in an effort to decrease this problem. The programs vary greatly in the components that form the intervention, as well as the duration and intensity of training. Consensus statements from research retreats and committees agree that the ideal ACL injury prevention program remains somewhat unclear because of the complex, multifaceted problem of the injury itself. 24,25 A recent metaanalysis of published programs determined that plyometric and strengthening components were more important than balance training and that the favorable effects of training were most pronounced in female soccer players younger than 18 years. Recently, investigators have recommended that ACL injury prevention programs be evaluated to determine their effect on Context: Many anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention training programs have been published, but few have assessed the effects of training on both ACL injury rates and athletic performance tests.
