Athletes who excel at quick, sharp movements—like cutting or pivoting—need strong, stable muscles to support these dynamic actions. However, most training programs focus on movement-based strength, often overlooking isometric strength, which is crucial for stabilizing joints under high loads and sudden changes in direction.

An Unexplored Concept in ACL Injury Risk in Women: Comparing a Female Runner to a Rolling Wheel Without Slipping

An Unexplored Concept in ACL Injury Risk in Women: Comparing a Female Runner to a Rolling Wheel Without Slipping

The concept of a rolling wheel without slipping illustrates the mechanics of a wheel that rolls along a surface without spinning, slipping, or skidding, ensuring that the point of contact between the wheel and the ground has an instantaneous net velocity of zero. This scenario parallels the biomechanics of a runner, where the body pivots around the center of mass during movement. Analyzing this dynamic provides valuable insights into the forces at play during activities involving rapid acceleration, deceleration, and directional changes, especially in female athletes.
