Tips to Prevent Sports Overuse Injuries
The American Academy of Pediatrics reports that overuse it to blame for up to half of all sports injuries in kids. That is why it is wise for kids to:
· Participate in a sport that emphasizes fun, safety, sportsmanship and learning skills.
· Join only one team per session.
· Take a break between seasons if they play multiple sports.
· Limit training in a single sport to no more than five days a week, giving kids at least one day off from any physical activity.
