Few people have perfectly straight legs. Most, when viewed from the front or back, will have knees that go slightly inward (knock knees or “valgus†alignment) or outward (bow legs or “varus†alignment).
But footballers are more likely to be in the latter group, because of growth differences that have been shown to start from the age of 12.
Your knee alignment develops as you grow, and is finalised during your teenage years. Researchers have found that adolescents who engage in intensive sports training often focus too much on repetitive tasks. Those that involve kicking a ball result in asymmetric strengthening of the muscles on the inside of your legs, and overloading of one side of the knee which changes the angle of the top end of the shin bone as it grows, giving bow legged alignment.
Research studies in several countries have shown an extra 15mm gap between the knees (on average) in footballing teenagers compared to a matched group doing other sports. In a mild form this doesn’t present any handicap, and may indeed even be beneficial in giving greater stability in your standing leg as you shoot the ball, and provide better ability to turn rapidly.
But professional footballers are known to have a higher incidence of knee arthritis later in life (1.3x if no serious knee injury, 2.9x if those with injuries included) and since greater angles increase your knee cartilage overload it’s likely that bow-legged alignment is partly to blame.
Physios are now developing specific training methods to improve dynamic knee joint stability to counteract this overtraining effect. Youth team coaches should be encouraged to use these strategies (together with adjustment of training intensity), particularly in the most vulnerable age group entering the pubertal growth spurt, in order to reduce the risk of longer term consequences.

Here's a quick breakdown of the most friendly and affectionate animals that make great friends for your journey through life:
1. Dogs
2. Cats
3. Pot-Bellied Pigs
4. Rabbits
5. Fancy Rats
Read on to find more detailed descriptions of each animal and what makes them such great companions for cuddling and loving!
1. Dogs
Dogs are not called “Man’s Best Friend†by accident. Not only are they fiercely loyal, but dogs are also extremely affectionate. Quite similar to humans, dogs are social animals who want to bond, be accepted, and be loved. Dogs' tendency to mercilessly lick their owners is a prime example of their affection. While this may occasionally simply be an attempt to lick the salt from the skin, it is usually a demonstration of a dog's affection and love.
While it is true that some dogs are certainly more affectionate than others, this is primarily due to upbringing and the fault usually rests with the human owner. Even breeds considered to be overly aggressive, such as pit bulls or Rottweilers, can turn into the most affectionate and cuddly softies if they're provided with a secure and loving home. From their endless licking to their tendency to basically tackle you with excitement every time you come home, there can be little doubt that dogs are one of the most affectionate pets.
Common ways for dogs to show affection:
snuggling
hugging
tail-wagging
licking
barking
playing games
protecting you
jumping up into the air
leaning against you
following you around
2. Cats
Cats have frequently been described as cold, disinterested, and aloof. This is actually a very unfair description of cats, as they are quite affectionate in reality. Dogs and cats show their affection differently, but in most cases, cats have true loyalty and affection for their owners. There have been countless documented cases when cats have risked their lives to assist an owner whom they perceived to be in danger.
In his book, Cat Sense: How the New Feline Science Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet, John Bradshaw claims that cats are just as loving and affectionate as dogs. He goes further to point out that cats have essentially received a “bad rap†mainly due to the fact that they show affection differently than a pet dog. Such actions as pointing their tail upright and rubbing up against owners are clear displays of affection, which are frequently misunderstood by human owners. Despite the stereotype of being cold and distant, cats are clearly affectionate pets.
Common ways for cats to show affection:
snuggling
hugging
licking
kneading
purring
playing games
protecting you
rubbing up against you
following you around
sitting on your lap
3. Pot-Bellied Pigs
Another very affectionate animal that is frequently chosen as a pet is the pot-bellied pig. This is another animal that has a number of negative stereotypes associated with it. For instance, we have all heard the phrases “eat like a pig†or “sweat like a pig" or "filthy as a pig sty." The truth is, however, that pigs are very intelligent, sociable, and clean animals. (The main reason they often roll around in mud is because they lack sweat glands and are trying to cool off.)
Pot-bellied pigs are also exceptionally affectionate. They have an intense craving for companionship and respond very well to touch. They also love to play and should be given frequent access to open spaces to run around in, ideally with lots of shade for cooling down. In fact, they are quite curious and playful and can become easily bored if not provided with enough activities and stimuli. As such, it's a good idea to "pig-proof" your home just in case they become overly curious or destructive. But if you have the ability to provide them with a good home and lots of attention, pot-bellied pigs can easily turn into one of your dearest, most affectionate companions.
Common ways for pot-bellied pigs to show affection:
snuggling
tail-wagging
licking
squealing
playing games
protecting you
rubbing their nose on you
following you around
4. Rabbits
The term “bunny rabbit†is synonymous with visions of cute, fluffy, and loving little creatures hopping and bouncing around from place to place. This perception is not too far away from the actual truth, as rabbits make for very interesting, entertaining, and affectionate pets. In fact, rabbits can be just as loyal and affectionate as dogs. They also have a wide range of personalities—from quiet and shy to outgoing and playful—to suit any kind of owner.
A very close bond can be established between a rabbit and their owner. It is important to remember, however, that while rabbits are affectionate, they specifically respond well to only certain types of handling. For example, they do not like being picked up and much prefer to be cuddled and petted while they are on the ground or in your lap. If the rabbit is not pleased with the handling tactic of its owner, a quick instinctive nip or scratch may follow. Thus, it is important to keep an eye on small children whenever they are interacting with a rabbit they do not know. Nevertheless, when treated right, the bunny rabbit is an exceptionally affectionate pet.
Common ways for rabbits to show affection:
snuggling
licking
squealing
playing games
demanding head rubs
running around your feet
jumping up into the air
following you around
5. Fancy Rats
There can be little doubt about the fact that many people are deathly afraid of rats. This creature has the unenviable reputation of being creepy and vicious and has been associated with the images of unimaginable death during the era of the Black Plague. While it is true that the sewer systems are home to a multitude of rats, it is also correct that these are not what we are generally suggesting you try to keep as a new cuddly pet.
Fancy rats are not sewer animals at all and are actually quite clean and regular self-groomers. They are also very intelligent, loyal, and affectionate animals. Fancy rats are sociable animals with a high degree of empathy and playfulness and are very affectionate to their human owners. They often enjoy solving puzzles and even love to just hang out on their owners' shoulders. If they are treated well and appropriately, fancy rats can be a perfect pet.
