[QUOTE="JBlood, post: 563943, member: 16"] 70% of ACL tears are non-contact (do not involve a collision with another player). Most occur when the foot is planted to change direction. The injury rate is higher in the female athlete, and higher in male athletes that are "loose jointed". The forces involved across the knee are many times body weight, and are increased due to the size and speed of today's players. Players who are very tight ligamentous-wise may easily walk around with no immediate sense of instability, which I imagine describes Barclay, Abbredaris, and the receiver traded to the Eagles last year who was practicing with us and found to have an ACL tear. I think the evidence is beginning to show that fatigue is an important part of soft tissue injury. Each player reaches a fatigue point unique to him, or her which increases the risk of injury--whether it's the ACL, hamstring, or some other injury. The GPS monitoring device the Packers are using is designed to measure the danger point, and avoid it during training. I suspect only the "stars" are currently using them, but I would think all players will eventually use them in the off season as well as during the season. The Packers are doing all they can to minimize injury, imo. [/QUOTE]
