Message: [QUOTE="BigBird, post: 2211608, member: 4247"] I hope somewhere out there, a team of brilliant orthopedists is working to address the ACL issues that seem to plague women's athletics. While men obviously have these injuries too, the rate for women athletes is significantly higher. What some suspect is that men injure the ACL by side forces (i.e. tackled from the side) or upon landing, while women injure it by planting their feet awkwardly as they push off to begin a jumping movement. I have no idea what to do nor what to conclude. But the chain of injuries in women's sports is frustrating, obviously and most especially for the athletes. [/QUOTE]
