Female Sports Injuries

Female sports injuries can arise from a combination of physical and biological factors unique to women. Common injuries include ligament tears, stress fractures, and tendinitis, often linked to hormonal influences, differences in anatomy, and various sports demands. Women are particularly susceptible to knee injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, due to differences in muscle strength and biomechanics. Additionally, the risk of overuse injuries can be heightened by factors like training intensity and inadequate recovery. Awareness and preventive measures, such as proper conditioning and technique, are essential for reducing these risks in female athletes.
