Women's football is quite interesting because one can see many beautiful women practicing sport and playing around with a ball, but the sport is not 100% safe. Injuries do happen and they should avoid it.
The Women's Euros kick off next Wednesday, once again bringing attention to the epidemic of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries in women’s football. But why is it that women are six times more likely to suffer from these injuries than men, and what research is being done to understand it further?
This month The Royal Institution team is looking at the science behind the ACL, and what factors researchers are investigating that influence injury susceptibility. They are joined by Blake Rivers, whose PhD at Kingston University is being funded by FIFA to investigate the impact of the menstrual cycle on ACL injuries, and Grace Vella, a footballer and entrepreneur who is 5 months into her ACL rehabilitation following on from reconstructive surgery.
