Sportsmetrics™ Each year in the US, 1 in 100 female high school athletes will suffer a serious knee injury. Don't be left on the sidelines. Train with Sportsmetrics™ to reduce your risk of injury! Knee ligament injury rates are 2-10 times higher in female athletes than in male athletes. The majority of these injuries are non-contact, occurring in sports that involve pivoting, cutting, or jumping. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) controls the pivoting and forward motion of the knee joint, along with the hamstrings muscles. If these muscles are not adequately prepared, jumping/twisting motions may create shear forces, which can tear the ACL. An ACL injury may sideline an athete for 6-12 months. What can I do? SportmetricsTM, created from the Cincinnati SportsMedicine and Orthopedic Center, is the first and only training program scientifically proven to decrease knee injuries in female athletes. IT is a six-week jump training program that meets three times per week on alternating days and is comprised of a dynamic warm-up, jump/plyometric drills, strength training and flexibility exercises. Sportsmetrics™ has been proven to:
Why is Sportsmetrics training so unique? Sportsmetrics is NOT just another plyometric training program. The program is designed and structured to progress the athlete from technique development to performance enhancement! Every trainer is certified by Cincinnatti SportsMedicine as a Certified Sportsmetrics Trainer. Athletes are supervised throughout every session from the warm-up to the concluding stretches. Student-to-trainer rations are no higher than 6 to 1 so each athlete receives individualized recommendations and attention based upon the results of the Sports Injury Test. Each athlete receives a pre-training and post-training Sports Injury Test report to see their corresponding improvement.
