Female athletics are increasing in popularity every day. Because of this, female athletes must prepare their bodies for the demands of their sport just like the male athletes. Strength development is especially important for females because they have an increased risk of ACL tears and knee problems due to their hip to knee “Q-angle.” A strong “core,” hips, quads, and hamstrings can drastically decrease stress on the knee joint when female athletes land from a jump or change direction on the athletic field.
