Brief Summary  

The study compares the effects of two different exercise interventions—core stabilization exercises and plyometrics with proprioceptive training—on strength and stability in recreational athletes who have sustained a non-contact ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury. The primary aim is to assess how each intervention impacts the rehabilitation process by improving muscle strength, joint stability, and overall function of the knee.ore stabilization exercises focus on strengthening the muscles that support the trunk and pelvis, which may improve the control and stability of the lower limbs during dynamic activities. On the other hand, plyometric exercises combined with proprioceptive training aim to enhance neuromuscular control and reaction time by emphasizing rapid, explosive movements and balance exercises.The study likely aims to identify which method better aids in regaining strength and stability, key factors for injury prevention and performance enhancement in athletes with ACL injuries. Key outcomes might include improvements in strength, stability, balance, and injury resilience, along with the potential for quicker and more effective return to sports., this research compares two rehabilitation approaches to see which one more effectively supports recovery and helps prevent future injuries for recreational athletes recovering from non-contact ACL injuries.
