Abstract Summary
The purpose of this study was to compare knee joint moments, kinematics and muscle activation between male and female team sport athletes during unanticipated sidestepping to further the understanding of sex-specific differences and their potential influence on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk. We found that although males and females display similar peak joint moments at the knee, muscle activation strategies and hip kinematics differed. These findings may have implications for injury prevention training protocols.
