Timing, not magnitude, of force may explain sex‐dependent risk of ACL injury

When studying #ACL injury #RiskFactors using #biomechanics we need to focus on the millisecs after IC, i.e. when the injury would occur - if not we're comparing oranges and tangerines. #TIMING IS KEY! https://t.co/kVl315KYcY https://t.co/lBYmPGlYYC https:/

Muscle activation is nice to learn and even educate athlete/patient, but MAJOR factor is the timing of movement. All about that X axis in most things, movement and Life. "Timing, not magnitude, of #force may explain sex-dependent risk of #ACL #injury"

Good questions. There might actually be more skill variability among 9-12 year olds than in the elite/older athletes who are typically studied. https://t.co/oLEBE5MKXx

Link from @biezefoster — curious if results would be same if matched 4 prior training level & limb dom btw female https://t.co/8XsB062f24

Among youth athletes (ages 9-12), timing of vGRF/valgus moment peaks and valgus/IR moment peaks during cutting is more likely to be concurrent in girls than boys, which may help explain the gender difference in ACL injury risk. https://t.co/VLrKVwdDTC

Proud of our latest publication on sex dependent differences in timing of multi-planar #ACL #risk factors. Great job @djhallib https://t.co/WjCfJwQ5Aa
