Injury differences between youth male and female American football players
Youth male American football players had a greater likelihood of sustaining concussions and head, knee, and shoulder injuries, whereas females were more likely to have sprains/strains, finger, and ankle injuries. Future studies are warranted to further explore how these differences may be attributed to play style and sex-based physiologic and development differences.
