Over-use Injuries
Every year, thousands of kids suffer injuries caused by intense sport specialization and overuse. As a tutor and a medical writer, I see how students are affected. Having suffered from overuse injuries when I was a youth athlete, I also know how they feel.
As young athletes return to school and team sports NMOA orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jeffery Racca encourages parents and coaches to build in more than one type of exercise into the training program of young athletes. According to Dr. Racca, “The bones and joints of young athletes are still developing and there is strong evidence that a balanced overall exercise program, used as a complement to training in a specific sport, is a safe way to ensure overall joint health and athletic performance.”
