  1. ACL tears in Athletes: are athletes, coaches, and trainers thinking enough about the future By: Kerri Kaiser University of Tampa

  2. Forecasting • Literature Review • Methods

  3. Literature Review • 1972 Title IX was passed allowing equal opportunity for women in sports • The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is located in the kneeand proved stability to the whole body when preforming in cutting and pivoting movements

  4. Literature Review Continued… • Females have a six times greater risk of tearing their ACL than males do • Researches believe women have a higher risk do to differences in the biomechanical and neuromuscular structures • The most common way females tear their ACL’s are in non-contact situations • It is proven that ACL prevention programs decrease the risk of non-contact ACL tears

  5. Methods • Collecting qualitative data to get very in-depth specific answers to my questions • Using athletes, coaches, and athletic trainers because I feel like they all are apart of the reason why athletes do or do not participate in ACL prevention programs • After I collect my data in going to use content analysis and typology • This will help me see patterns in the participants answers and make common themes

  6. ANY QUESTIONS
