Good
morning!
I
was listening to CBC Calgary Eyeopener this morning, admittedly with
only one eye open as it
was before my first cup of coffee!
I
did perk up, however, after listening to an interesting discussion
about ACL injuries and how to prevent them.
We
all talk about being more active. We also need to talk and learn
more about avoiding
injuries that will have lifelong consequences.
Anyway,
here's a link to the PEP (Prevent Injury, Enhance Performance)
Program.
“The
PEP (Prevent Injury, Enhance Perfomance) Program, developed by the
Santa Monica Sports Medicine Foundation with funding assistance from
the LA84 Foundation, can significantly reduce the incidence of ACL
injuries. The PEP Program is a series of exercises done on the
field-of-play before and/or after practice with no special
equipment.”
The
short videos clearly explain the exercises and include teaching
points showing both the correct and incorrect way of doing each
one.
Please,
pass this link along to anyone you know who teaches or coaches young
people.
Happy
Tuesday,
Maggie
