Purpose: The current study examined how different training affects the kinematics and
applied moments at the knee during sporting maneuvers and the potential to reduce loading
of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The training programs were 1) machine weights, 2)
free weights, 3) balance training, and 4) machine weights+ balance training. Methods: Fifty
healthy male subjects were allocated either to a control group or to one of four 12-wk
training programs. Subjects were tested before and after training, performing running and …
