Abstract:
Female athletes have unique risk factors for injury in both contact and noncontact sports. There are anatomic, neuromuscular, and biologic differences between the sexes that cause female athletes to experience certain injuries during sports at higher frequencies than their male counterparts. Understanding injury patterns specific to female athletes is crucial for developing prevention strategies, improving training protocols, and ensuring better recovery outcomes. This research can assist medical professionals, coaches, and training staff with creating tailored approaches to injury prevention and management.
