I was having a conversation with a DR about this. He claims now days athletes dont put enough focus on the development of the hamstring muscle. Said its especially bad with female athletes but also getting worse with males. To much quad strength and not enough hammy power. Interesting concept This is a fact that we have found to be VERY TRUE!! Muscle imbalance can be a major factor. Extensive quad development (squats, etc.) paired with limited hamstring development. We began doing an exercise called "Russian Hamstring Curls" several years ago in conjunction with our BFS program. Perhaps it is pure luck...but, we have not had any ACL problems (boys or girls) since. We have been using the BFS program for years. Our's is a unified program...used by both our girl's and boy's athletic teams. In our opinion it is an awesome program.
