TLDR
Recruits who were taller and heavier and thus had larger mass moments of inertia, and those with a prior history of ankle sprain had higher lateral ankle Sprain morbidity in basic training.Abstract:
In a prospective study of risk factors for lateral ankle sprain among 390 male Israeli infantry recruits, a 18% incidence of lateral ankle sprains was found in basic training. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of lateral ankle sprains between recruits who trained in modified basketball shoes or standard lightweight infantry boots. By multivariate stepwise logistic regression a statistically significant relationship was found between body weight x height (a magnitude which is proportional to the mass moment of inertia of the body around a horizontal axis through the ankle), a previous history of ankle sprain, and the incidence of lateral ankle sprains. Recruits who were taller and heavier and thus had larger mass moments of inertia (P = 0.004), and those with a prior history of ankle sprain (P = 0.01) had higher lateral ankle sprain morbidity in basic training.read more

TL;DR: An age of ten to nineteen years old is associated with higher rates of ankle sprain, whereas females over thirty years old have higher rates than their male counterparts, and the black and white races were associated with substantially higher rates.

TL;DR: Future prospective studies are needed using sufficient sample sizes of males and females, including collection of exposure data, and using established methods for identifying and classifying injury severity to conclusively determine addtional risk factors for lower extremity injury.

Ankle injuries in basketball: injury rate and risk factors
TL;DR: Ankle injuries occurred at a rate of 3.85 per 1000 participations, with almost half (45.9%) of the ankle injured basketball players missing one week or more of competition and the most common mechanism being landing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The incidence and prevalence of ankle sprain injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective epidemiological studies.
TL;DR: Females were at a higher risk of sustaining an ankle sprain compared with males and children compared with adolescents and adults, with indoor and court sports the highest risk activity and Ankle sprain prevalence period estimates were similar across sub-groups.

TL;DR: An experimental study in 39 ankles of the mechanisms of lateral ankle sprains was carried out using a simple qualitative apparatus and it was concluded that complete rupture of the anterior fibulotalar ligament is always the first lesion to occur in the lateral ankle sprain.
