Why is it important?
The disparity in the VMO/VL activation ratio may explain the gender variation in the occurrence of PFPS during weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing activities. Moreover, understanding the differences in the knee joint muscle activation between males and females may help health practitioners identify athletes who may be at the risk of injury.
Perspectives
Gender differences in the VMO/VL activation ratio during weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing activities were not found.
