Studiet viser, at kvinder har en højere risiko for skader inden for sport end mænd, ikke kun for ACL-skader, men også for knæ-, fod-/ankel-, knoglebelastnings- og hjernerystelsesskader. Mænd har derimod større risiko for hofteskader, hamstringskader og akutte frakturer. Det anbefales at udvikle kønsspecifikke forebyggelsesprogrammer og styrketræningsmetoder for at mindske skader. Dette understreger vigtigheden af at tilpasse træning til forskellige køns behov for at fremme sikkerheden i sportsaktiviteter.

Hele abstrakt på originalsprog:
This systematic review, aligned with PRISMA and PERSiST guidelines, analyzed 180 studies from databases like PubMed and Scopus (searched up to April 24, 2023) to explore sex-based differences in sports injuries across a six-tiered participant framework. It found moderate evidence that female athletes face higher risks of knee injuries (RR 2.7), foot/ankle issues (RR 1.25), bone stress injuries (RR 3.4), and concussions (RR 8.46) compared to males, while males are more prone to hip/groin (RR 2.26) and hamstring injuries (RR 2.4), plus acute fractures (RR 1.8-2.8). Most studies (174) were moderate quality per the Downs and Black checklist, averaging scores around 16-17 out of 28, with only six rated limited. The findings suggest female athletes could benefit from enhanced bone health focus and neuromuscular training to curb lower limb risks, while males might need tailored prevention for hip and hamstring issues. Sex-specific concussion protocols are also recommended, highlighting that sex influences injury profiles beyond just ACL tears in sports.
