Interest in reducing non-contact ACL<unk>  has been intense. The International Olympic Committee, after a comprehensive review of preventive strategies, has stated that<unk>  prevention programs have a measurable effect on reducing<unk> es. These programs are especially important in female athletes who bear higher incidence of ACL<unk>  than male athletes, and also in children and adolescents who are at high risk for a second ACL tear. Researchers have found that female athletes often land with the knees relatively straight and collapsing inwards towards each other, with most of their bodyweight on a single foot and their upper body tilting to one side; these four factors put excessive strain on the ligaments on the knee and thus increase the likelihood of ACL tear. There is evidence that engaging in neuromuscular training (NMT), which focus on hamstring strengthening, balance, and overall stability to reduce risk of<unk>  by enhancing movement patterns during high risk movements. Such programs are beneficial for all athletes, particularly adolescent female athletes.<unk>  prevention programs (IPPs), are reliable in reducing the risk factors of ACL inquiries, referring to dominance theories. The ligament dominance theory reduced peak knee abduction moment but should be more focused on prioritizing individualized, task-specific exercises focusing on an athlete's risk profile. It is more beneficial than a generic program. There is an increase in hip and knee flexion angles, such as plyometrics and jump-landing tasks, which reduces the risk of quadriceps dominance. However, there were no changes found for peak vGRF, which measures for "softer" landings. Unfortunately, there was no conclusive data on how IPPs reduces the risk associated with leg dominance theory.
