In the Fall of 2014 I worked as as Athletic Training Student with High School athletes. During this time I evaluated a large amount of athletes with head injuries. This intrigued me to go about research on the topic of concussions.
Cheerleading accounts for high rate of athletic injuriesElla_Scott
Cheerleading is still a favorite athletic activity, especially among young women despite being incredibly dangerous. In fact, high-flying acrobatics in competitive cheerleading result in disastrous injuries – second only to American football – according to a study by the University of North Carolina’s National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research.

In today’s scenario the sports have become highly competitive. The nature of all sports has become aggressive. So the chance of injuries also rises. This article will light up the most common sport injury i.e. facture. We have 206 bones in your body that make up your skeleton. Our skeleton supports and protects the soft tissues in your body and allows you to move. Bone is a living tissue with a soft center of bone marrow that produces blood cells. Your bones have a hard outer surface (the cortex) that contains minerals such as calcium. Healthy bones are strong and can bear a lot of weight and force. They do bend a little and sometimes you may apply force to a bone but it won’t break, but some times during a hard fall facture can occurs. Fractures usually happen when too much force is applied to a bone, usually during a fall or a sports accident. There are different types of fracture but they all result in a partially or completely broken bone. If you have an accident or sports injury your bone may fracture into many pieces. Facture is a most common sports injury which may be occurs at any time during the play.

Sports Specialization and Intensive
Training in Young Athletes
Joel S. Brenner, MD, MPH, FAAP, COUNCIL ON SPORTS MEDICINE AND FITNESS
Clinical Report – Reaffirmed With Reference & Data Updates February 2021
This Clinical Report has been reaffirmed with reference and data updates.
New or updated references and datapoints are indicated in bold typeface.
No other changes have been made to the text or content.
Sports specialization is becoming the norm in youth sports for a variety
of reasons. When sports specialization occurs too early, detrimental
effects may occur, both physically and psychologically. If the timing is
correct and sports specialization is performed under the correct
conditions, the athlete may be successful in reaching specific goals.
Young athletes who train intensively, whether specialized or not, can
also be at risk of adverse effects on the mind and body. The purpose of
this clinical report is to assist pediatricians in counseling their young
athlete patients and their parents regarding sports specialization and
intensive training. This report supports the American Academy of
Pediatrics clinical report “Overuse Injuries, Overtraining, and Burnout
in Child and Adolescent Athletes.”
INTRODUCTION
Youth sports culture has changed dramatically over the past 40 years.1
It is less common today to see a group of young children congregate
in a neighborhood to play a “pick-up” game without any adult
influence. The norm has become for children and adolescents to
participate in organized sports driven by coaches and parents, often
with different goals for the game than its young participants. It is also
less common now to have a multisport athlete in middle or high
school, because the norm has become for young athletes to specialize
in a single sport at younger ages. There is increased pressure to
participate at a high level, to specialize in 1 sport early, and to play
year-round, often on multiple teams. This increased emphasis on
sports specialization has led to an increase in overuse injuries,
overtraining, and burnout.1–3

Jasmine student athlete mental health portfolio-23_july_jmJasmineMiller23
Mental health is an issue that affects many. A community that often gets overlooked are student athletes. These young adults are going through a pivotal time in their lives all while balancing the stressors of higher education and competing athletically at the highest level. This paper speaks on why mental health in student athletes is so important and how universities, and athletic departments can step up and provide support. This paper also looks into how technology also affects the mental of student athletes.

Executive Summary
BACKGROUND
• Youth sport participation offers many benefits including
the development of self-esteem, peer socialization, and
general fitness.
• However, an emphasis on competitive success, often driven
by goals of elite-level travel team selection, collegiate schol-
arships, Olympic and National team membership, and even
professional contracts, has seemingly become widespread.
• This has resulted in increased pressure to begin high-
intensity training at young ages.
• Such an excessive focus on early intensive training and
competition at young ages rather than skill development
can lead to overuse injury and burnout.
PURPOSE
• To provide a systematic, evidenced-based review that will:
∘ Assist clinicians in recognizing young athletes at risk
for overuse injuries and burnout.
∘ Delineate the risk factors and injuries that are unique to
the skeletally immature young athlete.
∘ Describe specific high-risk overuse injuries that present
management challenges and/or can lead to long-term
health consequences.
∘ Summarize the risk factors and symptoms associated
with burnout in young athletes.
∘ Provide recommendations on overuse injury prevention.
METHODOLOGY
• Medical Subject Headings (MeSHs) and text words were
searched on March 26, 2012, for MEDLINE, CINAHL,
and PsychINFO.
• Nine hundred fifty-three unique articles were initially
identified. Additional articles were found using cross-
referencing. The process was repeated July 10, 2013,
to review any new articles since the original search.
• Screening by the authors yielded a total of 208 relevant
sources that were used for this paper.
• Recommendations were classified using the Strength of
Recommendation Taxonomy (SORT) grading system.
DEFINITION OF OVERUSE INJURY
• Overuse injuries occur due to repetitive submaximal
loading of the musculoskeletal system when rest is not
adequate to allow for structural adaptation to take place.
• Injury can involve the muscle-tendon unit, bone, bursa,
neurovascular structures, and the physis.
• Overuse injuries unique to young athletes include apoph-
yseal injuries and physeal stress injuries.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
• It is estimated that 27 million US youth between 6 to 18
years of age participate in team sports.
• The National Council of Youth Sports survey found that
60 million children aged 6 to 18 years participate in some

Seven Ways To Reduce Risk of Traumatic Brain Injury In SportsDr Matthew Boente MD
There is mounting evidence that traumatic brain injury to youth and high school athletes in contact and collision sports can result not only from a single violent hit but from the cumulative effect of repeated low-grade or sub-concussive hits (/sub-concussive/sub-concussive-hits-growing-concern-in-youth-sports) (now more commonly referred to as repetitive head impacts or RHI)

Young Pitchers Often Pressured to Play Despite Pain
1. Young Pitchers Often Pressured to Play Despite Pain
TUESDAY, March 24, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Young baseball players feel pressure from parents
or coaches to continue playing despite arm pain, and many parents are unaware of guidelines to
reduce injury risk, a pair of recent studies found.
"Kids are playing harder and longer in more leagues than ever before," said Dr. Paul Saluan,
director of pediatric and adolescent sports medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. "Kids also are not
getting enough rest in between episodes of pitching, which may lead to insufficient time to heal
smaller stress injuries. Over time, these smaller injuries add up."
The studies are scheduled for presentation March 24 at the American Academy of Orthopaedic
Surgeons' annual meeting in Las Vegas. Data and conclusions presented at meetings are usually
considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.
The co-author of one of the studies explained how players feel. "Players who experience pain often
felt their parents and coaches were frustrated with them," said Dr. Christopher Ahmad, professor of
orthopedic surgery at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City.
"Throwing with pain is a signal that injury is occurring," added Ahmad, who is the New York
Yankees' head team physician.
In Ahmad's study, he and his colleagues surveyed 203 healthy players, aged 8 to 18. Just under one-
quarter of them had experienced a prior overuse injury, they found.
Almost half of the players -- 46 percent -- said they had been encouraged to continue playing with
arm pain, and 30 percent said their arm pain sometimes made playing less fun.
Those most likely to report being encouraged to play despite pain had a previous overuse injury.
They were also more likely to report feeling arm pain while throwing and to experience arm fatigue
during games or practice.
For the second study, researchers surveyed 60 parents of baseball pitchers, aged 9 to 18. They
found just over half of parents were not aware of safe pitching guidelines and did not actively
monitor their child's pitch count.
The most important aspects of safe pitching guidelines are a maximum number of recommended
throws based on a child's age and the number of days of rest needed between throwing stints, said
Saluan.
2. "The focus has been on creating a better athlete who can throw harder, faster and more accurately
than ever before," Saluan said. "Injury prevention has taken a back seat."
One in five parents did not know how many pitches their child threw in a typical game, but 64
percent recalled that their child had experienced pain in the upper extremities because of pitching,
the survey found. For one-third of the pitchers, the pain required a medical evaluation.
"Kids who continue to pitch through pain end up with significant injuries that may have lifelong
consequences," Saluan said. "Younger pitchers who are still growing are much more vulnerable than
adults to sustain an injury to the growth plates around the shoulder and elbow."
Growth plates are the cartilage areas at the end of long bones in children's and teens' bodies, which
allow the bones to grow until they turn into solid bone in adulthood, he said. But until then, this
cartilage is a "weak point" that is sensitive to the repeated stresses caused by pitching.
Injuries to the growth plates usually heal with rest, Ahmad said. But he noted that more young
pitchers are also damaging their ulnar collateral ligament, an important ligament in the elbow.
"Unfortunately, these injuries do not always heal and often require surgery," he said.
The main causes of these injuries are specialization in playing and too much throwing without
enough rest, Ahmad said. Other factors include training like adult players, playing year-round,
playing on multiple teams at once, poor pitching mechanics, throwing at high velocity and throwing
in showcases to impress a scout, pro team or coaches.
In the pitching study, half the young pitchers threw in at least two leagues at a time, one-quarter
pitched more than nine months of the year, and just over half participated in extra showcase
situations.
"We have fallen into the trap of 'too much too soon,'" said Saluan. "This has resulted in a rise in
injury rates in kids whose bodies are not prepared to handle the stresses that are encountered."
