ONE-SPORT ATHLETES HAVE MORE OVERUSE INJURIES
Rehab Regs, August 26, 2005
Young athletes who play only one sport are more prone to overuse injuries according to a report by the Boston Children's Hospital Division of Sports Medicine, the Salt Lake Tribune reports. The clinic sees more than 300 children a week, a rapid rise that the clinic's director, Lyle Michele, believes is caused by young athletes specializing in one sport too often. The article says children should not be allowed to participate in one sport for more than 20 hours a week because the wear and tear is too much on a young athlete's tendons, ligaments, bones, and muscles.
