Yeah. I mean, these are very active questions in science right now. And there's a bunch of theories. You know, there could be hormonal explanations. Could be women have wider hips, which permits their knees. There's like this thought that if your knees go in together as you bend your knees, that is an elevated risk of ACL tear. There are so many theories. Women have narrower ACLs.

There's all these theories. But I'm a little bit struck by, so in this granular movement data that my book is about,

they did a massive study of like every single thing that goes into nba players who had acl tears over years basically so if someone has an acl tear then they go back and look at that person's assessment say how do they move and by this analysis it's none of those things i just described like acl tears are caused by landing on the outside of your foot and having the weight roll to the inside like your shin bone is moving like a big windshield wiper right

That's cause number one. Is that more common in women? We haven't studied that yet, right? But I think that would be tip top thing to study, right?

And then the second biggest cause is femoral rotation. So this is where, this is gross, but you go with my analogy. You know when you have the Thanksgiving turkey and you like twist the leg off?

Well, I'm using my arm against the upper half of your leg. For some people, when they squat down, your upper leg bone twists inside your leg. And you can imagine that would be extremely stressful, like on your ligaments in your knee, right? So the first problem is managed by stronger muscles in the lower leg, like we've been talking about, right?

The second problem is managed by stronger muscles in your hip. Like your hip has... That bone in your upper leg has little knobs on it, and there are muscles that grab it and hold it in place and keep it from rotating. And you can just strengthen those muscles and make it stronger. And you do that with all sorts of difficult work, like side planks.
