Title: ACL Tears among women and men Post by: Othello2 on Dec 4, 2016 ACL tears are very common among athletes and everyone knows someone who has torn their ACL. However it is much more common for females to tear their ACLs than males. Why do you think this is ?
Title: Re: ACL Tears among women and men Post by: psyche360 on Dec 4, 2016 The speed, power, and intensity displayed by female athletes have dramatically increased over the past decade. Such more aggressive style of play has led, predictably, to an increase in musculoskeletal injuries. One of the more common is a sprain or rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
*Sry for the unscientific source Title: Re: ACL Tears among women and men Post by: Othello2 on Dec 5, 2016 Very good idea. But why aren't men and woman equal in ACL tears, woman still tear it more than men. Are woman playing more intensely than men?
