Do Speed Training To Prevent Knee Injuries

Why does it seem that more athletes are suffering major knee injuries?  Adam Kessler says researchers are finding some of these injuries could be prevented if the athlete's hamstring was stronger.  The hamstring, quadriceps and calf muscle help to stabilize the knee.  If you can get your hamstring strength to be about 80% of your quad strength, that is optimal for both knee stabilization and speed development.  Proper landing technique is key to both to get the joint used to that type of impact and develop explosiveness.  To read what this Columbus, Ohio, speed trainer recommends you do to prevent knee injuries and increase your speed, click here:  Do Speed Training To Prevent Knee Injuries
