		<description><![CDATA[Female athletes are particularly susceptible to anterior knee pain and injury to their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This increased risk is thought to result from poor dynamic control of the hip and knee, particularly when the foot hits the ground. The inability to control hip adduction, knee valgus, and internal rotation in the transition from&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anterior knee pain is often associated with hip muscle weakness of the abductors, extensors and external rotators. Dr. Vladimir Janda noted these muscles were particularly susceptible to inhibition and weakness. Hip weakness is particularly prevalent in females with anterior knee pain. This hip weakness is thought to result in abnormal forces occurring at the knee&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is commonly used during exercise to indicate the intensity of exercise. Originally developed and used in cardiac rehab and aerobic exercise, more recently, RPE is also being used to regulate exercise intensity during resistance exercises.  In fact, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends using RPE to dose resistance&#8230;]]></description>
