Abstract Patellofemoral pain is the most common chronic pathology in recreational runners. Female runners are at greater risk of developing patellofemoral pain, although the exact mechanism behind this is not fully understood. This study aimed to determine whether female recreational runners exhibit distinct knee loading compared to males. Fifteen male and fifteen female recreational runners underwent 3D running analysis at 4.0 m.s 1

pressures (PCP) were compared between sexes. The results show that females exhibited significantly greater knee extension (p
