Summary
This study looked at 75 elite teen track-and-field athletes, some with knee pain and some without, to see how their body moves. Researchers measured things like hip flexibility, core strength, and balance. They found that athletes with knee pain had tighter hips, weaker core muscles, and poorer balance, suggesting knee pain is about more than just the knee itself.
