Kids and Sports
Did you know that there were 3.5 million visits by children to the doctor for sports-related injuries according to a survey by the Consumer Products Safety Commission?
Sometimes, when it comes to kids, we think they are tougher than perhaps they really are. Their bones (and the rest of their bodies) are still growing.
The American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine recommends the following to prevent Childhood and Adolescent sports injuries:
1) Be in condition to play a sport (kids can’t just get off the couch and play football – they need to be in shape for their specific sport)
2) Warm up before playing
3) Always wear protective equipment (and make sure it fits and is properly adjusted)
4) Avoid playing when tired and stop if you experience pain.
