As I have begun to narrow down my focus in ISM, I have determined I would like to study specifically why female athletes are more prone to ACL injuries.
As an athlete myself this is a topic that is very interesting to me, and something I would love to research more about. After completing my second research assessment, I have learned a lot about the factors that contributed to why female athletes are more prone to ACL tears. In my research, I first wanted to begin by understanding how significant this particular topic is. Specifically I learned that female athletes tear their ACL 8 times more often than male athletes, which was a very significant statistic I wanted to highlight, and shows the importance of this situation.
Overall, I learned about many of the causes contributing to this risk. However, in my research the main thing I wanted to learn was the possible solutions to help female athletes avoid this risk. ACL injuries are one of the most common injuries but also one of the most life altering injuries. Therefore, I wanted to specifically focus on some of the possible solutions to decrease this risk, because this is a topic I might want to focus on in my final project in ISM. Specifically in the articles I read the authors offered some solutions including teaching physical movement classes, and providing strength training programs. I don't know if these are the particular solutions I might want to use in my final project. However I wanted to learn about some of these solutions and this topic, in order to help me consider what to do for my final project, and what I want to narrow my research down to.
