Hip abductor function and lower extremity landing kinematics: sex differences.

Rapid deceleration during sporting activities, such as landing from a jump, has been identified as a common mechanism of acute knee injury. Research into the role of potential sex differences in hip abductor function with lower extremity kinematics when landing from a jump is limited.To evaluate sex differences in hip abductor function in relation to lower extremity landing kinematics.2 x 2 mixed-model factorial design using a between-subjects...
