Female Track Athletes: A common issue for nearly all female track athletes is knee problems. The female anatomy does not respond well to loads placed on the joints of the lower body. Thus, female trackletes must work harder to strengthen their hamstrings, glutes, quadriceps, calves and ankles. Women must also emphasize structural and core exercises that develop closed-kinetic (feet on the ground) loading of the spine and joints of the lower extremities. This will cause increases in musculature, bone mineral density, and tendon and ligament strength in the hips, knees, and ankles.
