Women participation in sports increased dramatically in the last century, especially in the last quarter. Women are now involved more in competitive athletics and other vigorous exercise programs, and women of all ages are exercising earlier in life and with greater intensity. This mass participation in sports resulted in dramatic increase in certain sports-related musculoskeletal injuries among women which their incidences and locations differ according to the type of sports.
