Today, 1 in 4 female athletes will suffer from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and females participating in "cutting sports" (soccer, volleyball, and basketball) are 4 to 10 times more likely to tear their ACL. In general, athletes at 17-18 years of age have the highest risk of an ACL injury. The female anatomy gives female athletes a disadvantage with injury prevention from the get-go. One of the first major issues is the angle between the hip bone and the knee bones. The angle is wider in females than males, putting females at a higher risk for severe knee injuries, such as ACL tears. The flexibility and mobility of females also puts them at a disadvantage. Females are naturally more flexible than males. This flexibility causes them to be able to hyperextend their knees and muscles more frequently. This becomes a problem with landing stability and balance. All the differences between male and female athletes result in female athletes being more prone to injuries, specifically around the leg. Fortunately, some measures can be taken to reduce the chances of injury. Proper training and nutrition can help reduce a female athlete's chance of sustaining a career-ending injury. WISP, or Women Injury Sports Prevention, will focus on preventing injuries around the leg and knee area in female athletes.
