Women are more vulnerable to sports injuries at certain stages of their monthly cycle, according to a new Canadian study. Loose joints can increase the risk of injury - most of the women had weaker knee joints before or during ovulation (and not after) when their oestrogen levels rise and peak.
There are oestrogen receptors in the knee and the hormone is known to weaken ligaments.
