Kevin Robinson, a Belmont Professor and physical therapist with Baptist Sports Medicine, believes those injuries are far too common.<br \/>\n&#8220;We&#8217;ve been rehabbing kids for 20 years. We&#8217;d like to be on the prevention side now,&#8221; said Robinson.<br \/>\nRobinson said new studies show that improved hip and core muscle strength can drastically reduce knee injuries.<br \/>\nLogan Plummer wasn&#8217;t sure what to make of the study until the benefits showed up on the soccer pitch.<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;m able to keep my balance more, and not get knocked off the ball as much,&#8221; said Logan.<br \/>\nAt the beginning of the study, Logan could barely keep her balance while jumping on one leg. After the training, the improvement is obvious.<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s about an eight degree change, which might not sound like much but when you&#8217;re talking about forces on the knee that&#8217;s significant,&#8221; said Robinson.<br \/>\nRobinson said the athletes also showed improved athletic performance in addition to having better stability.<br \/>\nStudy organizers got what they hoped for&#8211; improved performance and a decreased risk of injury as well as keeping student athletes on the field and playing better in the process.<br \/>\nBaptist Sports Medicine officials hope to expand the study to two local high schools. They eventually hope to create a low cost, effective exercise program that can be used by schools across the mid-state to help prevent major injuries.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n<script type='text\/javascript' src='http:\/\/www.newschannel5.com\/global\/video\/videoplayer.js?rnd=159097;hostDomain=www.newschannel5.com;playerWidth=300;playerHeight=240;isShowIcon=true;clipId=4982733;flvUri=;partnerclipid=;adTag=null;enableAds=false;landingPage=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.newschannel5.com%252FGlobal%252Fcategory.asp%253FC%253D125220;islandingPageoverride=false;playerType=STANDARD_EMBEDDEDscript'><\/script>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Kevin Robinson, Professor of Physical Therapy at Belmont, was recently featured in a News Channel 5 story about his research study with Baptist Sports Medicine, identifying risk of injury to student athletes.
