In general, the more contact in a sport, the greater the risk of a traumatic injury. However, most injuries in young athletes are due to overuse.<\/p>\n<p>Most frequent sports injuries are sprains (injuries to ligaments) strains (injuries to muscles), and stress fractures (injury to bone) caused when an abnormal stress is placed on tendons, joints, bones and muscle. In a growing child, point tenderness over a bone should be evaluated further by a medical provider even if there is minimal swelling or limitation in motion.\u00a0 Contact your pediatrician if you have additional questions or concerns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To reduce the risk of injury:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take time off. Plan to have at least 1 day off per week from a particular sport to allow the body to recover.<\/li>\n<li>Wear the right gear. \u00a0Players should wear appropriate and properly fitting protective equipment such as pads (neck, shoulder, elbow, chest, knee, shin), helmets, mouthpieces, face guards, protective cups, and\/or eyewear. Young athletes should not assume that protective gear will protect them from performing more dangerous or risky activities.<\/li>\n<li>Strengthen muscles. Conditioning exercises during practice strengthen\u00a0muscles used in play.<\/li>\n<li>Increase flexibility. Stretching exercises before and after games or practice can increase flexibility. Stretching should also be incorporated into a daily fitness plan.<\/li>\n<li>Use the proper technique. This should be reinforced during the playing season.<\/li>\n<li>Take breaks. Rest periods during practice and games can reduce injuries and prevent heat illness.<\/li>\n<li>Play safe. Strict rules against headfirst sliding (baseball and softball), and spearing (football) should be enforced.<\/li>\n<li>Stop the activity if there is pain.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid heat injury by drinking plenty of fluids before, during and after exercise or play; decrease or stop practices or competitions during high heat\/humidity periods; wear light clothing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Sports-Related Emotional Stress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The pressure to win can cause significant emotional stress for a child. Sadly, many coaches and parents consider winning the most important aspect of sports. Young athletes should be judged on effort, sportsmanship and hard work. They should be rewarded for trying hard and for improving their skills rather than punished or criticized for losing a game or competition. The main goal should be to have fun and learn lifelong physical activity skills.<\/p>\n<p><em>Since 1989, the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/clekis.com\/service\/personal-injury\/\">personal injury<\/a>\u00a0lawyers of Clekis Law Firm have been representing injured people and their families in Charleston and throughout the Low Country.
