Purpose The higher prevalence of knee injuries amongst adolescent females may be related to female pubertal development. The aim of this study was to determine whether girls exhibit higher tri-planar knee and hip moments with more advanced pubertal development during a single limb landing. Methods Lower limb biomechanics of 93 females grouped according to pre-pubertal (n=31), early/mid-pubertal (n=31) and late/post-pubertal (n=31) development performed a single-limb drop lateral jump. Peak tri-planar knee moments and hip moments at the time of peak knee moments were derived from a Vicon motion analysis system and concealed force plate. Joint moments were normalized to body mass (Nm/kg), height (Nm/kg/m) and body mass by height (Nm/kg/m). Between-group differences were analysed using a one-way ANOVA with Pearson correlations used to explore relationships between joint moments and anthropometrics. Results Girls at latter stages of puberty landed with higher tri-planar knee moments and hip flexion moment at time of peak knee flexion moment when normalized separately to body mass and to height (p
