About this listen

 Come post some silly stuff on our subreddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/MachJesusPodcast/Several studies have shown that female athletes are more likely to tear their anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) than male athletes.[202][203][204][205] According to William Levine, director of sports medicine at Columbia University and the head physician for its varsity teams, female athletes are four or five times more likely than male athletes to have ACL tears.[206]There are several different theories about why women are more prone to this injury, including the "Q theory" which highlights specific differences in male and female anatomy and kinesiology The difference in injury risk may be due to female-specific hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle, or due to different skeletal and muscular structures (like a wider pelvis, stronger quadriceps than hamstrings, more elastic ligaments, or the fact that women have hollow bones akin to birds) that cause women to place more stress on and more easily stretch the ACL than men.Female athletes are also more prone to concussions than male athletes.[12][13] They exhibit more visible symptoms of a concussion than male athletes and for a longer period of time than male athletes, a phenomenon known as the "concussion gap".[211][212] However, there is no consensus on the reason women are more prone to concussions than men or experience symptoms differently. Some theories have been that women have smaller, more breakable nerve fibers in their brains,[213] that their necks are weaker and so their brains accelerate more sharply on impact,[214] or fluctuating hormones during menstrual cycles that make them more susceptible.[215]
