My topic will be 3 Common Sports Injuries in which I will be researching the cause,
treatment and rehabilitation of sprained ankles, concussions, and injured ACLs. I
chose this topic because whenever around sports, you will always see injuries.
These 3 injuries are very common, so I thought it would be interesting to see what
causes them to be so common.

 What is an injured ACL?

- The stretching or tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament

Causes of injured ACLs

- Occurs when your knee is hit hard, over extending of the knee, or quickly stopping
and changing directions
Different types of ACL injuries

- Partial or complete tears in different parts of the ligament

 Symptoms- a popping sound when the injury occurs, swelling, pain when you put weight on

your knee

Treatment-

- If treatment is needed it is usually surgery, depending on the extent of the injury.

Prevention- Some college programs are now putting their athletes through ACL prevention

programs

- Building strength in your knee/leg will help

-Women are more likely to receive ACL tears than men

- Most tears occur in the middle of the ligament

- The Meniscus and MCL are often effected when the ACL is injured
- Basketball, Football, Soccer, and Skiing are the sports that see the most ACL

injuries

Throughout the semester I learned a lot from Coach Blinka. I learned more than just
sports. I learned social skills and how to handle problems in a professional manner.
Almost every day a girl would come to her about a problem or an issue and I always
watched new ways how she handled each one. She knows a lot about sports so it
really helped me with parts of my project.

Special thanks to Coach Blinka, Mrs. Click, my

mother and father, my brother, as well as the
graders. Thank you so much!
