Are Sports A Bad Omens Within The Sports Sphere?

Injuries are one of the top reasons why sports are bad for kids. In the video we watched from WCPO called “Pressure On Teen Athletes Sore” they say that the amount of injuries have increased from 7 Thousand to 22 Thousand a year. The amount tripled. It is said that the injured children's families spent $30,000 in six months. This source also said that the more sports you play there is an increased risk of getting an injury. In one of the article called “ High School, College Football Comes With Risk. In this article a Primary Investigator at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio named R. Dawn Comstock states that there might be more injuries in some school because some schools

Throughout the states, questions and doubts about players safety have arisen. Despite the worries, statistics show the amount of injuries are not abundant enough to call out football as “Too Dangerous”. According to the study, published in the August 2007 issue of The American Journal of Sports Medicine, four out of every 1,000 high school football exposures resulted in an injury. The most common injuries were knee and or ankle related, stating also how the position in which most of these injuries occur were to running backs and to linebackers. “While football does have a high rate of injuries, injuries don’t have to be just part of the game,” said Christy Collins, MA, research associate in CIRP at Children’s Hospital and co-author of the study. “There are ways to reduce the number and severity of football injuries

One of the most common truths that people have a problem with when the subject is contact sports is the injuries that are involved in playing such sports. Sports such as Football, Rugby, Lacrosse, and Hockey are all considered contact sports due to the volume of hitting and personal contact that occurs when one plays these kinds of sports. All though friendships and building one's character can take place when playing a contact sport, the risk outweigh the reward when it comes to the research done on injuries that occur every year when playing sports such as the ones

Young children having major physical injuries while participating in sports should be of more concern. In the article High School Football Comes With a Risk, by Jeffrey Perkel it states that, “...boys aged 10 to 14 we’re most likely to end up in the nation’s emergency departments with a traumatic brain injury…,” This shows how adolescents are unnecessarily hurting themselves because of these sports. Expectedly, during the 2005-2006 US high school football season an , estimate of 517, 726 injuries were submitted to the RIO. Even my own personal experiences with sports all ended in tragic faults. Swimming with

When playing any athletic sport, there are multiple risks that a player, such as I, may encounter while participating in each sport. Growing up in a sports family, meant I played multiple sports as a young athlete, such as, baseball, football, basketball and swimming. During my younger sports years, I cannot recall any major injuries or concussions in any of the sports I played. While practicing and participating in any sport or activity it is necessary to take precautions, by using the proper equipment and good technique before, during, and after the activity. As an athlete with many hours of practice and conditioning, I felt I ready for almost anything life could throw at me. As an athlete, I have pushed my body to the limit and my body started to push back with injuries leading to partial fractures, MCL tears, and UCL strain.

A Worldwide survey of emergency room visits shows that about every 25 seconds, a young athlete visits a hospital emergency room from a sports-related injury (Loehrke and Healy, USA TODAY). Occasional bumps and bruises are expected when kids play sports, but when almost 1.4 million kids are injured and sent to hospitals its catches someone’s eye. Sprains, strains, fractures, contusions, abrasions, and concussions all top the list of ER diagnoses for kids age 6-19. That’s averaging a cost of up to 935 million a year. Many believe these are preventable (Carr, Safe Kids).

Many children enjoy sports more than life itself. To love a sports with that amount of significance is not a horrible thing, but to love oneself should be the first priority in life. Especially adolescents who play the sport with lots of passion and emotion by imitating their favorite athletes to fight an injury so they would be able to continue their action. The youth as a whole need to realize that injuries are capable of affecting people’s lives around them. For example, hiding any joint problems gives an increase chance of arthritis at a younger age. Sport injuries at a young age can lead to a serious case of no or rare physical activity for the rest of their life (Schnedier 1). Concussions are one of the most serious injuries that athletes should be aware of and how to continue. Athletes like Chris Coyne fight concussions to play, but fighting a severe headache, dizziness and nausea can hurt a team more if something very serious would have happened to effect a teammate’s life.

The interest in sports across the World has increased dramatically within the past decade. There tend to be a large amount of media which revolves its concern of high contact sports. “All types of sports have a potential for injury, whether from the trauma of contact with other players or from overuse or misuse of a body part” (Stanford’s Children Health 1). As there will be a result of an injury among all sports the research of change within them do not meet with one another. The number of injuries which come from sports have also increased but there is a lack of concern in the understanding and development of research in all sports. As the very commonly known injury the concussion has seen its fair share amount all sports and not all sports have seen their fair share of resolving the cause of the injury.

Participation in any sport comes with a risk of injury, but football is easily one of the most dangerous, as most who play will inevitably injure themselves at some point in their career. In 2012, youth football caused 394,350 injuries, more than any other youth sport (Sprinkle 11). The overall injury rate in NCAA football is 8.1 injuries per 1,000 athlete exposures (games and practices combined). Furthermore, there were more than 41,000 injuries and 25 million athlete exposures from 2004 to 2009 (“Football Injuries,” sec. “Injury Overview”). When compared to other college sports, football “has the highest injury rate with 36 injuries per 1,000 male athletes” (Thomas, sec. “The Most Dangerous”). Not all injuries are serious; many muscle ailments and bone breaks can heal and never trouble an athlete for the rest of their life. However, other injuries can and do inconvenience athletes for years after the initial injury, and the sheer number of injuries caused by football guarantees that many athletes will suffer that fate. Concussions in particular are a growing problem in football at all levels, with more research and data appearing in the news everyday. Just like more “normal” injuries, concussions can occur while participating in any sport. However, football is again unique when it comes to this issue. In a study using data from 2009 to 2014, college football

Young athletes are at very high risks for injuries during the course of playing sports. It should be recognized that the development stage of adolescent growth is a period of physiological growth in height, muscle, skeletal and with their desire to be recognized by peers. Their belief that nothing bad will happen to them makes adolescents themselves prone to injuries. High school students play sports for various reasons such as scholarships, talents, hobbies, and fame, these reasons make high school athletics an important aspect of the student’s life.

High school athletes account for an estimated 2 million injuries and 500,000 doctor visits and 30,000 hospitalizations each year. Young children are starting to specialize in one sport earlier and earlier throughout the years. That may possible cause problems of injuries or abilities. Sports intensity is teaching kids discipline and teamwork. The intensity in sports is causing children to have many injuries hurting them forever, but if we get the coaches and parents aware we can help the risk factors.

Shin splints also known as medial tibial stress syndrome is a condition many people suffer. Shin splints is a condition in which the tiblias posterior muscle "inflates." About 60% of the time shin splints are the main cause of leg injuries. There are many ways one can obtain shin splints but the main causes are excessive pressure and excessive impact towards the muscle. The main people who suffer from this condition are the athletes. Although athletes are the main people who suffer from shin splints anyone can develop the condition at any time.

The conclusion of a 7-year study in Victoria in 2010, found that children aged 15 and under were 5.4 times more likely to be hospitalised for sports-related injuries than for road-traffic injuries . This is cause for major concern amongst the junior sporting population of Australia, with a significant increase in sports-related hospitalisations nationally each year. Eccentric factors such as overtraining and early specialisation have been linked to this rise. In the absence of a national sporting injury prevention body and subsequent national injury prevention policy, associations and sporting clubs may be ill-equipped to deal with this extensive

There were over an estimated 1,053,370 injuries from 2009-10 through 2013-14 academic years within 25 National College Athletic Association championship sports; averaging 210,674 injuries annually. During this time, there was an estimated of 176.7 million athletes exposed to latent injuries. Moreover, just “4% of those injuries required surgery, and 0.9% of the total of the injuries required emergency transportation.”

A young athlete complained of shin pain for the past 4 weeks. She noted the pain would occur after running. Shin splints do come from any activity related to the medial aspect of the tibia. There are various indications of what this type of injury is causing the pain. Some clinicians call it medial tibial stress syndrome ( MTSS) or tibial stress syndrome. The wide range of nomenclature puts up a debate over the exact diagnosis of this overuse symptom. A physical examination is useful to identify any risk factors contributing to pain. X-Rays are normal in MTSS and are usually taken for a stress fracture. An MRI will show any serious conditions of stress injury.
