S.K.I.P.©:
Successful Knee Injury Prevention
Once the baseline data is collected, you - and your group or team - can jump right into the program. Sessions occur twice a week for six weeks. Exercises progress in three phases, each one building on the one before. Each phase includes:
- Dynamic flexibility/warm-up
- Jumping and plyometric exercises and progression
- Strength training
- Static stretches and partner stretches
We wrap up your S.K.I.P. experience with a reevaluation and reassessment of your capabilities and techniques (and you also get a t-shirt). In the past we've found that athletes achieve:
- Decreased landing forces on their knees
- Jumping and landing mechanics change from a stiff-legged wiggle wobble to a controlled and stable knee joint
- Increased flexibility, strength and power
- Enhanced overall athletic performance
- Decreased risk for serious injury significantly
