THOUGH INJURIES MAY VARY FROM SPORT TO SPORT, THE COMMON YOUTH INJURIES INCLUDE: Youth Sport Injuries A safety guide for young athletes Millions of children and teens in the United States practice sports, and every year about 3.5 million sport injuries occur. That said, most of these injuries are not serious and do not need surgery to correct them. A significant number of these injuries are preventable. Injuries on the rise As sport specialization among children becomes more common, injuries are increasing. Children nowadays are playing one sport year-round. This causes them to not develop different muscles groups. Additionally, this is not allowing their brains to develop different motor skills. On top of that, most parents admit that their children rarely take extended periods of time off from their sport. Resting is key The best way parents and youths can avoid these issues is to listen to the body and let it rest. If a patient is in pain and continually sustaining injuries, early treatment is necessary so that the injuries won’t become a longstanding problem. Most parents want their child to play at the next level. If they don’t let their children rest their bodies rest now, these injuries may ruin their chances of extending their playing career. Ideally, an athlete should take two to four weeks off from the sport after the end of each season. Preparing for practice Before sending your child out on the field, make sure they hydrate before, during and after practice. Also, equipping them with the correct protective gear that fits is instrumental to both their performance and form. A sport injury is never planned for, but it doesn’t have to take your athlete out of the game. With proper equipment, nutrition, hydration, rest, and crosstraining, your child’s chances of getting hurt are substantially reduced. Shoulder or patella dislocations Growth plate fractures: A condition that affects the growing tissue layer near the end of a child’s bone. Muscle sprains Osteochondritis dissecans: A joint condition that occurs when a lack of blood flow causes the bone underneath the joint’s cartilage to die.
