Multicenter Study[Impact of Self-Reported Fatigue on ACL Injuries in Alpine Skiing: A Sex Comparison].
In recreational alpine skiing, about one third of all injuries affect the knee joint, and the most common diagnosis in adult male and female skiers is a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which makes up 15 - 21 % of all injuries. General preventive recommendations to reduce the incidence of ski injuries include avoiding fatigue. However, it seems unclear to what extent ACL injuries in male and female recreational skiers are related to perceived fatigue. ⋯ Based on the findings of this study, fatigue does not seem to be a major risk factor for an ACL injury among male and female recreational skiers.
