(2025), Scand J Med Sci Sports, 35: e70079 The purpose of this study was to explore between-limb differences in gluteal, quadriceps, hamstring, and triceps surae muscle size and activity during a repeated vertical jump-landing task in individuals with a history of unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). …
Carr, G and Fleddermann, M.-T. Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports 35, no. 7 (2025): e70093, Concussion is common in sports and often shows sex-based differences in symptom severity and recovery, with female athletes experiencing more severe, prolonged symptoms. Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle may play a role in concussion, but research on this topic has been limited. Therefore, this scoping …
