[Are stress fractures "hormone fractures"? On the current discussion of the cause of this sports injury].
Discussion on the causes of stress reactions and/or stress fractures is at present under way. There are some pointers indicating that in women athletes this type of sports injury or damage is promoted by hormonal imbalance. Nevertheless, sports practice should always bear in mind that taking the "pill" cannot prevent stress damage. The primary cause is forced mechanical strain or load combined with improperly balanced training. The author makes specific reference to potentially dangerous types of training, and discusses these.
