April 2, 2010, Newsletter Issue #137: New Website to Prevent Overuse Injuries in Young Athletes

Tip of the Week

Check out this website, http://www.stopsportsinjuries.org/ launched today as a collaborative effort by several organizations including the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine.


Overuse injuries are on the rise, and kids who suffer them might be less inclined to continue to play sports and maintain an active lifestyle as they get older. Specializing in one sport and playing it year-round is the culprit in most cases. There doesn't have to be anything wrong with that if the child is having fun, but this website offers suggestions for how to minimize the risk of an overuse injury. There are specific tips for specific sports, and information for kids, parents, and coaches.


Happy Running!
