Don't Be A Statistic: How To Beat The Injury Stats & Stay On The Field

All athletes know that by participating in a sport, they run the risk of experiencing an injury. While there are many factors that can determine the type and severity of an injury, there are a few general statistics that soccer players should keep in mind before they the take the field:
 
  • Female athletes are between 2 and 6 times more likely to suffer an ACL injury compared to male athletes.
  • 30,000 high school and college female athletes will injure their knees this year.
  • The same number of males will injure their knees. However, for every 1 female high school or collegiate athlete, there are 5 males participating.
  • In the past 15 years, ankle sprains have decreased by 86% while knee ligament injuries have increased by 172%.
These are some scary numbers! Luckily, Classics Eagles athletes have an advantage. Athletes can meet with an Orthopedic ONE AT/PT during designated hours onsite at SuperKick! Whether you have already experienced an injury or are hoping to prevent an injury from occurring, Orthopedic ONE's Chris Kent, PT/AT and Josh Horn, AT can perform flexibility, strength and movement screens which can help identify potential injury risks or pinpoint the cause of a current ailment.  These screenings have helped explain things like how tight hips limit speed and contribute to hamstring pulls and low back pain, or how weak hips and flat feet put more stress on the knee, leading to knee injuries and ankle injuries. These findings can then be shared with your strength coaches to help improve training sessions or be used to make recommendations for a medical referral or physical therapy treatment.
