Mechanisms of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Basketball (2007, background): “It is generally agreed that lumbopelvic (or core) stability plays an important role in controlling the knee.(24,27,30,33) Furthermore, Kraemer et al(19) found that the neuromuscular performance was lower in women, and several studies have shown a “ligament dominance” in women, implying that the liga”
Optimizing Performance by Improving Core Stability and Core Strength (2008, background): “Leetun et al.([12]) found that 41 (28 women, 13 men) of 139 athletes (basketball and track) sustained 48 back or lower extremity injuries during the season (35% of the women, 22% of the men).”
Gender differences in the incidence and prevalence of patellofemoral pain syndrome (2010, background): “On measures of strength, females have been reported to be significantly weaker than males on measures of quadriceps, hip external rotation, hip extension, and hip abductor strength (Leetun et al., 2004; Barber-Westin et al., 2006; Claiborne et al., 2006).”
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Female Athletes (2006, background): “The hip is a potentially important controller of dynamic joint stability in female athletes.(56,69,78) Decreased activation of proximal stabilizing muscles can alter loadbearing capacity and result in higher loads per body weight at the knee in the transverse, sagittal, and coronal planes.”
Core Stability Exercise Principles (2008, background): “Leeton and colleagues (36) performed a prospective study looking at 140 male and female intercollegiate basketball and track athletes.”
The Importance of Sensory-Motor Control in Providing Core Stability (2008, positive): “,([6]) it was stated that core stability has an important role in injury prevention.”
Deficits in Neuromuscular Control of the Trunk Predict Knee Injury Risk (2007, background): “In addition, female athletes demonstrated significantly decreased femoral abduction and external rotation strength and significantly decreased quadratus lumborum endurance compared with male athletes.(22) However, there are several limitations to this prior study.”
