Background: Recommendations exist to encourage safe youth participation in sport. These recommendations include not specializing 1 sport, limiting less than 8 months per year, and fewer hours week a child’s age. However, limited evidence exists support or refute these recommendations. Hypothesis: High levels of specialization will be associated with history injuries especially overuse injuries, independent age, sex, weekly sport training hours. Athletes who exceed current volume more likely...
Previous studies have identified abnormalities in brain and motor functioning after concussion that persist well beyond observed clinical recovery. Recent work suggests subtle deficits neurocognition may impair neuromuscular control thus potentially increase risk of lower extremity musculoskeletal injury concussion.To determine the odds sustaining an acute during 90-day period return to play from a cohort National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I collegiate athletes.Cohort...
Background: The prevalence of sport specialization in high school athletes is unknown. This information needed to determine the scope this issue an active population. Purpose: To and if influenced by classification method, year school, sex, size. A secondary purpose was highly specialized would be more likely report a history lower extremity injuries. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: High between ages 13 18 years from 2 local schools completed both survey...
Interest and participation in organized sports for children, preadolescents, adolescents continue to grow. Because of increased participation, younger entry age, sports, appropriate practice, game schedules, content become more important, taking into account athlete developmental stage skills. Parental support general, with focus on development fun instead winning, has emerged as a key factor the athlete's enjoyment sports. Schools community organizations who multiple levels sport (eg,...
<h3>Importance</h3> There is potential scientific and clinical value in validation of objective biomarkers for sport-related concussion (SRC). <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate the association acute-phase blood biomarker levels with SRC collegiate athletes. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This multicenter, prospective, case-control study was conducted by National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) US Department Defense Concussion Assessment, Research, Education (CARE) Consortium...
Sports participation can have tremendous physical and mental health benefits for children. Properly implemented progressive training programs yield a broad range of beneficial physiologic adaptations, but imbalances load recovery important negative consequences. Overuse injuries, example, result from repetitive stress without sufficient that leads to accumulated musculoskeletal damage. In addition, extended periods increased loads exceed the intervening systemic consequences such as...
Sport specialization is associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal lower extremity injuries (LEIs) in adolescent athletes presenting clinical settings. However, sport and the incidence LEIs have not been investigated prospectively a large population athletes.To determine if was high school athletes.Cohort study; Level evidence, 2.Participants (interscholastic grades 9-12) were recruited from 29 Wisconsin schools during 2015-2016 year. Participants completed questionnaire...
High school athletes are increasingly encouraged to participate in 1 sport year-round increase their skills. However, no study has examined the association of competition volume, club participation, and specialization with sex lower extremity injury (LEI) a large sample high athletes.Increased participating on team outside sports, levels will all be associated history LEI. Girls more likely engage higher team, classified as highly specialized.Cross-sectional study.Level 3.High completed...
Physical activity plays an important role in children's cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal mental and behavioral physical, social, cognitive development. Despite the importance lives, pediatricians are unfamiliar with assessment guidance regarding physical children.

The number of girls participating in sports has increased significantly since the introduction Title XI 1972. As a result, more have been able to experience social, educational, and health-related benefits participation. However, there are risks associated with participation, including female athlete triad. triad was originally recognized as interrelationship amenorrhea, osteoporosis, disordered eating, but our understanding evolved recognize that each components exists on spectrum from...
Background: The incidence of sport-related concussion (SRC) in high school football is well documented. However, limited prospective data are available regarding how player characteristics and protective equipment affect the SRC. Purpose: To determine whether type (helmet mouth guard) SRC players. Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 2. Methods: Certified athletic trainers (ATs) at each recorded helmet worn (brand, model, purchase year, recondition status) by as information players’...
Background: Sport specialization is a strategy to acquire superior sport performance in 1 but associated with increased injury risk. Currently, the degree of high school among Division I athletes unknown. Hypothesis: College will display rates as they progress through their careers. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiological study. Level Evidence: 4. Methods: Three hundred forty-three (115 female) representing 9 sports from Midwest University completed previously utilized questionnaire...
Cross-sectional.To describe performance and asymmetry on the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) by sex sport, to determine if differences exist within a collegiate athlete population.Performance SEBT may differ between sexes levels of competition, though results previous studies have been inconsistent. Investigation sports is limited. Sex- sport-specific reference values likely need be determined best assess performance.Performance was retrospectively reviewed in 393 healthy National...
This Clinical Report was reaffirmed August 2020. Performance-enhancing substances (PESs) are used commonly by children and adolescents in attempts to improve athletic performance. More recent data reveal that these same often for appearance-related reasons as well.

Children and adolescents may participate in sports that favor a particular body type. Some sports, such as gymnastics, dance, distance running, emphasize slim or lean physique for aesthetic performance reasons. Participants weight-class wrestling martial arts, attempt weight loss so they can compete at lower class. Other football bodybuilding, highlight muscular physique; young athletes engaged these desire to gain muscle mass. This clinical report describes unhealthy methods of well...
Significant evidence has emerged that sport specialization is associated with an increased risk of overuse injury in youth athletes. Several recommendations exist to reduce the sports, but injuries may be dependent on specific movements required by a given sport.Associations between specialized participation and will volleyball athletes not soccer or basketball Female more likely report previous year, regardless sport.Cross-sectional study.Level 3.Youth ages 12 18 years were recruited...
Sport specialisation is becoming increasingly common among youth and adolescent athletes in the USA many have raised concern about this trend. Although research on sport has grown significantly, numerous pressing questions remain pertaining to short-term long-term effects of health well-being youth, including increased risk overuse injury burnout.
