- Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of plyometric training on muscle strength and function after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Methods: Twenty-five male subjects who completed 12 weeks of rehabilitation after ACLR were included in the study. The participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group (n=13, age: 20.15±3.36 year) received a strengthening program and an additional plyometric training program 3 days a week for 8 weeks. The second group (n=12, age: 23.41±5.21 year) received only the strengthening program. Muscle strength was measured before and after training in both groups. In addition, one leg hop test, the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale were applied to both groups at the end of the training. Results: In both groups, there was an increase in quadriceps muscle strength after training (p<0.05), whereas hamstring muscle strength increased only in plyometric training group (p=0.001). In the comparison of muscle strength improvement, one-leg hop test, IKDC questionnaire and Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale results between the groups, a statistically significant difference was found in favor of the plyometric training group in all measurements (p<0.05). Conclusion: Plyometric training after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has positive effects on muscle strength, knee functional outcomes and psychosocial status.
