This longitudinal cohort study tracked new ankle sprains among US Military Academy cadets from 2005 to 2007. It asked how gender, body size, physical conditioning, sport, and level of competition affect ankle sprain incidence in a young, uniformly active population. Athlete-exposure data let the authors separate true risk from simple differences in participation time.
