The incidence and recurrence of hamstrings injuries are very high in sports, posing elevated
performance and financial-related costs. Attempts to identify the risk factors involved in …

Young, adolescent female athletes are at particular high risk of sustaining a non-contact
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during sport. Through the last decades much …

Purpose Revision ACL reconstruction requires careful analysis of failure causes particularly
in cases of two previous graft ruptures. Intrinsic factors as excessive tibial slope or narrow …

It has been suggested that an increased posterior tibial slope (PTS) and a narrow notch
width index (NWI) increase the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The aim of this …

Despite recent attention in the literature, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury mechanisms
are controversial and incidence rates remain high. One explanation is limited data on an in …

Background Female athletes are four to six times more likely to sustain an anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) injury than male athletes. Jump-landing biomechanics are influenced by …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify neuromuscular training intervention
programs that significantly reduced the incidence of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament …

up programs in female athletes. J Strength Cond Res 25 (1): 271-285, 2011-The sex …

Metabolites derived from the intestinal microbiota play an important role in maintaining
skeletal muscle growth, function, and metabolism. Here, we found that d-malate (DMA) is …

Background: The in vivo mechanics of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and its bundles
during dynamic activities are not completely understood. An improved understanding of how …
