AOSSM 2022 Annual Meeting Recordings - no CME-Q & A: Sports Health Symposium II

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the increasing number of ACL injuries, particularly among vulnerable populations, and examines why prevention programs are not effectively reducing these injuries. The speakers suggest that the strategies for reducing injuries are not well disseminated or utilized, and increase in training load or specialization may be contributing to the problem. Lack of time and implementation by coaches is also highlighted as a barrier to injury prevention. The speakers emphasize the need for coaches to incorporate preventative training and provide adequate time for its implementation. The video acknowledges the changing attitudes towards female athletes in the weight room but emphasizes the importance of coaches taking responsibility for injury prevention. The video concludes by mentioning the availability of the January-February 2022 issue of Sports Health, focusing on this topic.
