KNACKERED KNEES
Female athletes are more likely
to have knee injuries than their
male counterparts, according to
the American Academy of Or-
thopaedic Surgeons.
That's because women ath-
letes have greater knee laxity,
lower levels of muscle strength
and endurance, and different
muscle reaction time than male
athletes. Female athletes also are
more likely to rely on their
quadriceps to stabilize their
knees during sports, whereas
male athletes and nonathletic
men and women first use the
hamstring for stability.
"Favoring the use of the
quadriceps for stabilization,
rather than the hamstring, often
results in (anterior cruciate liga-
ment) tears in rigorous sports,"
says Edward M. Wojtys, M.D., an
orthopedic surgeon at MedSport
