Many sports and sports need to jump. When you land after jumping, your knees are at risk of injury because your bones, muscles and joints are under great strength. This power can cause tension, sprains and muscle tears. The Fremont Regional Medical Center reports that when you don't land properly, you may have a severe knee injury that gives your leg a chance to absorb the impact of the jump. Bending your knees is one of the most important techniques to reduce the risk of injury.

When you use the appropriate landing technique after jumping, you can greatly reduce the risk of hurting you knee. The Fremont Regional Medical Center notices that if you land after jumping, your body may receive five times the weight of your body. When you balance the force by bending your knees, the rest of the leg helps absorb the impact and better protects the knee. When jumping, align your knees forward and bend them when you land. This allows your thighs and calves to help absorb the landing equally and remove most of the force from the knee joint.
Tibial tendonitis
Tendinitis is a medical term for tendon injury that connects your knee to your tibia. This type of injury is often referred to as the hopper's knee because it often occurs in athletes who jump a lot for exercise. However, anyone can get phlegm. If you have gingivitis, you will experience that the knee pain will become more intense or intense during exercise and may interfere with your daily activities. In addition to learning proper knee-shouldering techniques, strengthening the rest of the leg muscles may help prevent such jumps.
Tear of ACL
Incorrect jumps can lead to anterior tearing of the cruciate ligament, or ACL. Your ACL is the ligament that connects the thigh to your cheekbone and through your knees. This ligament also helps stabilize the knee. The Fremont Regional Medical Center noted that 70% of ACL injuries occurred during a jump landing. If the injury heals, the torn ACL will prevent you from participating in your exercise for a long time. Often, a torn ACL requires surgery to properly repair it. Landing your kn bending will help reduce ACL tearingThe risk will also strengthen your hamstrings.
Suggestions
If you are not sure if you are using the appropriate knee-shoulder landing technique, ask your coach or other fitness expert to show you the correct way to land after a jump. Use a tiny jump to practice landing techniques until you master it. Watch yourself jump in front of the mirror so you can realize where you need to improve. If you experience any type of pain in your knee after jumping, stop the activity and rest. If the pain persists, or if you hear a snoring when you land, get medical attention immediately.
