Gender differences in running injuries

Understanding lower limb location-specific running-related pain by males and females Elashi, Maha Essam Thesis; University of British Columbia Date 2016 Quote: Running-related injuries (RRIs) have been attributed to a number of factors, but there is no consensus in the current literature as to whether sex is a risk factor for RRIs, or if risk factors for running-related pain differ by sex. It has been suggested that due to differences in anatomy and biomechanics, males and females have their own RRI risk profiles; several variables may need to be taken into consideration when assessing sex as a risk factor for RRIs and running-related pain.
