What is Sportsmetrics™ ?
Sportsmetrics™ is the first and largest ACL injury prevention program SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN to decrease serious knee ligament injuries in athletes. Developed by Dr. Frank Noyes and a team of athletic trainers, physical therapists and researchers, Sportsmetrics™ is not just another plyometric training program. Jumping drills are used to teach the athlete to preposition the entire body safely when jumping landing. The selection and progression of these exercises are designed for neuromuscular retraining proceeding from simple jumping drills to multi-directional, single-foot hops and plyometrics with an emphasis on quick turnover. A solid foundation of strength, coordination and overall physical conditioning is required for athletes to attain their highest potential in their sport-specific skills.
Sportsmetrics™ is a six-week jump training program that meets three times per week. Each session is approximately one and one-half hours and includes the following components:

- The risk for ACL Injuries significantly increase among adolescents between 12-15 years old

- Female athletes are 10 times more likely to tear their ACL in a non-contact injury than their male counterparts.

Sportsmetrics™ is a six-week jump training program that meets three times per week. Each session is approximately one and one-half hours and includes the following components:
- Dynamic Warm-up: Prepares the body with functional based activities that use sport specific motions.
- Plyometrics/Jump Training: Used to focus on correct jumping technique and are divided into three two-week phases. Each phase has a different training focus, and the exercises change accordingly.
- Speed and Agility Training: Emphasizes body alignment and form while performing sprinting and cutting movements.
- Strength Training: With emphasis on body alignment and form, this section focuses on development of core strength and improving overall muscular efficiency.
- Flexibility Training: Stretching is essential to achieve maximum muscle length, allowing muscles to work with power through complete range of motion.
