Jumper's knee is that nagging pain below the kneecap from all the jumping, while an ACL tear is a sudden pop and give-way—often from landing or pivoting wrong! Women are more at risk due to wider hips and muscle imbalances, so prevention is all about strength training for hips and knees and learning to land softly. Back home, I see fisherwomen hauling nets for hours with no knee complaints—it's the stop-start city sports and concrete courts that do the damage, not being a woman itself!
