Abstract
Given their role in reducing anterior tibial translation (ATT), the recruitment patterns and viscoelastic properties of the hamstring muscles have been implicated as neuromuscular factors contributing to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) gender bias. Nevertheless, it is uncertain whether patterns of aberration displayed by the female neuromuscular system significantly alters the antagonist moments generated by the hamstrings during maximal effort knee extension. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of gender on hamstring antagonist moments in order to explain the higher ACL injury rates in females.
