Purpose:
Female runners typically suffer more from chronic running injuries than age-matched males, although the exact biome-chanical mechanisms behind the increased susceptibility of female runners are unknown. This study aimed to compare sex differences in tibiocalcaneal kinematics during the stance phase of running.

Methods:
Twenty male and twenty female participants ran at 4.0 m • s^–1. Tibiocalcaneal kinematics were measured using an eight-camera motion analysis system and compared using independent samples t tests.

Results:
Peak eversion and tibial internal rotation angles were shown to be significantly greater in female runners.

Conclusions:
based on these observations, it was determined that female runners may be at increased risk from chronic injury development in relation to excessive tibiocalcaneal motions in the coronal and transverse planes.
