Comparison of knee-joint moments in male and female college soccer players during a single-leg landing
Article Abstract:
A study aims to compare the internal-rotation, varus, valgus, and extension moments of the knee among male and female varsity college soccer players during a single-leg landing. Male soccer players demonstrate greater knee-varus moments than female soccer players during single-leg landing, a finding that could be valuable in designing clinical treatment and prevention programs for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.

Knee-joint position sense: The relationship between open and closed kinetic chain tests
Article Abstract:
A study aims to compare knee joint-position sense (JPS) during open kinetic chain (OKC) and closed kinetic chain (CKC) maneuvers and also to report on any differences in performance between male and female subjects and right and left limbs. Results show testing JPS in a CKC scenario would be appropriate as it produces a lower magnitude of error and, conversely, any deficits would be most obvious.

Does exercise type affect relative activation levels of Vastus Medialis Oblique and Vastus Laterialis?
Article Abstract:
The effect of different quadriceps exercises on Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO) and Vastus Laterialis (VL) recruitment timing while controlling load and velocity of contraction is assessed. It was found that the onset timing does not differ significantly between VMO and VL during a variety of exercise tasks.
