Protecting ACLs: Why deceleration matters

Editor’s note: ACL injuries ruining seasons is a growing problem across the NFL. I asked our own Aaron Borgmann to write about how these types of injuries could be prevented.

Most people don’t realize it, but with athletes, there is definitely a science to the act of stopping, or decelerating. The topic is impossible to cover in one brief article.

However, with the NFL resuming and ACL knee injuries again making news, this is a good opportunity to educate on this important topic.
