Abstract

Purpose This study aimed to investigate whether knee and hip running moments differ across stages of female pubertal development. Methods This was a cross-sectional study comparing the barefoot running moments of 91 prepubertal (n = 31, Tanner stage I), early/midpubertal (n = 30, Tanner stages II and III), and late/postpubertal (n = 30, Tanner stages IV and V) girls. External peak moments for knee abduction (KAbM), knee adduction (KAM), knee flexion (KFM), and knee internal rotation (KIRM) were analyzed. Secondary measures of hip adduction moment at the time of peak KAbM and hip flexion moment at the time of peak KFM were also derived. Between-group differences were analyzed using a series o..
