Active women face unique risks. Women are 2 to 10 times more likely than men to suffer knee injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which helps link your upper and lower leg bones. Among the highest-risk sports are: basketball, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse and skiing. Loose knee joints and other differences between the male and female body may add to the risk, along with hormone levels. Stress fractures, kneecap pain and foot problems are also more common in females.
One threat unique to women is the ‘female athlete triad’, a condition marked by eating disorders, amenorrhea (missed periods) and osteoporosis. Any female athlete is at risk for the triad. However, it is most common in runners, ballerinas, gymnasts and figure skaters, whose sports focus more on the appearance and weight.
The female athlete triad starts with nutritional issues. An active woman may cut back on calories to lose weight, or she may burn more calories exercising than she’s taking in. This creates a calories deficit that affects total body fat and subsequently, the reproductive system, leading to low estrogen levels and missed periods.
It is indeed good to exercise and be physically active for women, but at the same time injury can be a risk. Getting expert advice on how to prevent and manage these unique risks is necessary to make sure that proper care is given with every activity you get your self into.

August 15th, 2009 admin 
Sports supplements abound, but most have not been proven to boost performance. Amino acids don’t appear to build muscle any better than the more balanced protein in food. Skip the protein powders, too. Serious athletes need slightly more protein than others, but most people get plenty of protein from food. Chromium picolinate, is touted for muscle building too, but the research is unclear.
Creatine, found in meat, fish and poultry, is also made in the body from amino acids. A few studies show that it improves performance in activities like sprinting and jumping, which requires short bursts of energy. But it won’t help recreational exercisers or endurance athletes.
Bottom line: Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a seasoned athlete, your best performance comes from eating a balanced diet and drinking plenty of fluids.
