Hamstrings and quadriceps muscle size and strength in female and male elite competitive alpine skiers by Daniel P. Fitze, Daniel P. Fitze, Martino V. Franchi, Martino V. Franchi, Clarissa Müller Brusco, Nadine Engeler, Nadine Engeler, Walter O. Frey, Walter O. Frey, Jörg Spörri, Jörg Spörri

“…An interesting finding of the present study was that female skiers had a greater proportional ACSAmax of the SM, as this may be relevant in anterior cruciate ligament injury prevention given the function of tibia internal rotation.…”

Effect of older age and/or ACL injury on the dose–response relationship between ambulatory load magnitude and immediate load-induced change in serum cartilage oligomeric matrix pro... by Simon Herger, Corina Nüesch, Anna-Maria Liphardt, Christian Egloff, Annegret Mündermann

“…Purpose: This study aimed to assess the influence of older vs. younger age and previous anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury on resting serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (sCOMP(tpre)) concentration, on immediate load-induced sCOMP kinetics after a 30-min treadmill walking stress (∆_sCOMP(tpost)), and on the dose–response relationship between ambulatory load magnitude and ∆_sCOMP(tpost). …”

Sex-specific analysis of individual and ski geometry-related risk factors for ACL injuries in recreational alpine skiing: A case-control study by Gerhard Ruedl, Martin Faulhaber, Markus Posch

“… Introduction In recreational alpine skiing, female skiers experience knee injuries at twice the rate of male skiers, with the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries being three times higher in women (Posch et al. 2021). …”

Female Adolescent Soccer Players Utilize Different Neuromuscular Strategies Between Limbs During the Propulsion Phase of a Lateral Vertical Jump by Matthew D DeLang, Joseph P Hannon, Shiho Goto, James M Bothwell, J Craig Garrison

“… # What is known about the subject Female adolescent soccer players are a high-risk cohort for sustaining anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Limb dominance may play a role in the performance of functional tasks, and limb dominance in soccer players is quite specialized: the dominant limb is the preferred kicking limb, while the non-dominant limb is the preferred stabilizing limb (plant leg). …”
