The importance of gender on myokinetic deficits before and after microinjury
Article Abstract:
Gender and its importance relative to myokinetic deficits before and after microinjury have been studied. Muscle force-generating capabilities of physically active men exceed that of women before and after microinjury. Both genders suffered acute and residual deficits for peak force production (PFP), but only men had significant acute deficits for peak rate of force production (PRFP). Athletes of either gender should stay away from strenuous exercise for at least 48 hours after injury or until force-generating capabilities go back to normal

Detection of dynamic stability deficits in subjects with functional ankle instability
Article Abstract:
The combinations of landing protocol and analysis technique is studied to determine the most effective technique at detecting differences in dynamic stability between healthy subjects and subjects with functional ankle stability (FAI). The study shows that the jump protocol and the UTOP (unbounded third order polynomial) method of analysis are the most effective TTS (time to stabilization) combination in detecting differences between healthy and FAI groups.

Patterns of glenohumeral joint laxity and stiffness in healthy men and women
Article Abstract:
Women participating in sports, especially activities involving repeated overhead throwing, may be increasing their risk for glenohumeral joint instability. Women appear to experience more generalized joint hypermobility than men.
