Female Athletes Have Higher Injury Rate Than Men
Female athletes are far more prone to certain injuries - like to their shoulders and knees - than men, reports Science Daily. But, it doesn't have to be that way. The study, completed by the University of Alberta, says that many of the injuries occurred when women followed training routines developed for young adult males. If coaches target more workouts toward women, those injury rates could fall.

What a shocker-women have fewer resources developed for their bodies specifically, so they injure more frequently than men. At least the resources are growing. How are we going to reach our potential without equivalent research studies, workout designs, and gear specific to our bodies differences?
