| Summary: | The research results referring to frequency have indicated that most of the sports injuries among athletes of both
genders occur in basketball and that knee injury is the second most frequent injury during sports activities. The
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) represents one of the four most important connections for knee stability, and
it is frequently prone to injury during sports activities. The aim of this paper was to determine the effects of an
exercise program on the prevention of injury to the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee joint among young
female basketball players. To collect existing research on the effects of the applications of prevention programs
on the prevention of ACL injury in young female basketball players, the following electronic databases were
searched: PubMed, SCIndeks, PEDro, J-GATE, DOAJ and Google Scholar. The analyzed studies were published
between 2003 and 2018 and the participants were young female basketball players. According to the results of
this study, the most frequently used training programs were neuromuscular programs, whose structure includes
several types of exercises and which represented a combination of plyometric exercises, core strengthening
exercises, exercises to strengthen the muscles of the lower extremities, agility exercises, flexibility exercises, and
balance exercises. Finally, the application of the knee injury training program leads to an improvement in motor
balance, proprioceptive abilities, balance, flexibility, as well as biomechanical abilities related to injuries of the
ACL, leading to an improvement in sports performance among female basketball players. |
