Biomechanics of Female Athletes

The biomechanics of female athletes explore how their bodies move and generate force during sports activities. Factors like bone structure, muscle distribution, and joint flexibility influence performance and injury risk. Understanding these biomechanics helps optimize training, improve techniques, and prevent injuries such as ACL tears, which are more common in females. Recognizing differences in anatomy and physiology ensures that athletic programs are tailored to support female athletes’ unique needs, enhancing performance and safety.
