Variability of Practice and Injury Risk in Basketball - Lecture 458

Explore a critical review of a new study comparing traditional prescriptive coaching, the Constraints-Led Approach (CLA), and Differential Learning (DL) training for reducing ACL injury risk in basketball. Delve into the question of whether variability serves as an injury prevention mechanism. Examine the effectiveness of manipulating task constraints as a motor learning method for reducing risk factors associated with ACL injuries during side-step cutting in both male and female athletes. Gain insights from Rob Gray's analysis of this research and its implications for coaching practices and injury prevention strategies in sports.
