After exclusion based on current PFP symptoms, 255 participants were prospectively enrolled in the study. A 1-way analysis of variance was used to determine between-group differences in incident PFP and the referent (no incident PFP) participants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The cumulative incidence rate for the development of PFP was 0.97 per 1000 athlete-exposures. Female athletes who developed PFP demonstrated increased normalized hip abduction strength (normalized torque, 0.013 \u00b1 0.003) relative to the referent control group (normalized torque, 0.011 \u00b1 0.003) ( P &lt; .05).

Further research is needed to verify the proposed mechanistic link to the incidence of PFP.<\/jats:p>\n
