RISK FACTORS FOR ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURY IN FEMALE FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Journal Title: Issues of Rehabilitation, Orthopaedics, Neurophysiology and Sport Promotion-IRONS - Year 2016, Vol 17, Issue 17
Abstract
Women’s football is a rapidly growing discipline. In the last 15 years we can observe significantly growing interest in women’s football in Poland. However, the growth in the absolute number of players translates into statistical increase of the risk of injury. Many authors confirm that the risk of a serious knee injury is significantly higher in female than in male players. This is particularly true for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, which occur from 2.2 to 6–7 times more often among women than men. The paper describes ACL injury factors; those non-modifiable and those, which can be modified by training, and thus the risk of injury might be reduced.
