Adolescent female soccer players are 4 to 6 times more likely to sustain an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury than are male soccer players. 1 Mihata L.C. Beutler A.I. Boden B.P. Comparing the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injury in collegiate lacrosse, soccer, and basketball players: implications for anterior cruciate ligament mechanism and prevention.

Am J Sports Med. 2005; 33: 524-530 Crossref PubMed Scopus (632) Google Scholar This sex disparity may be caused by decreased neuromuscular control during the execution of sports movements, particularly in landing and pivoting movements. This results in lower limb mechanics, which may increase ACL injury risk. 3 Pappas E. Hagins M. Sheikhzadeh A. et al.
