This study aimed to identify behavioral and physiological risk factors that influence potential knee injury mechanisms.  Most of these risk factors could potentially be modified to reduce joint loads to lower the risk of injury.

The results of this study relate larger knee joint loads to poor hamstring flexibility, greater body weight, greater weekly mileage, and greater muscular strength. Most of these risk factors could potentially be modified to reduce joint loads to lower the risk of injury.

Results showed that stretching reduces passive tension.  Benefits from the lower tension are reduced sensations of stiffness and soreness.

The beneficial effect of an active warm-up can be combined with that of the diurnal increase in central temperature to improve muscular power.
