You spin baseline and your opponent is a step behind as you accelerate toward the rim poised to make the crowd go wild. You throw down a two-handed reverse and as they begin to chant your name, it turns to groans as you land and blowout your knee.
Overuse Injuries in Young Athletes: Cause and Prevention
The frequency of overuse injuries in children has increased in recent years. Increased interest in sports as well as the increase in sports specialization by childrenis one cause. Extrinsic and intrinsic factors predispose an individual to overuse injuries, but one systematic cause is improper training. Strategies for preventing overuse injuries include: (a) the use of varied practice to reduce joint stress and enhance learning, (b) planned rest, (c) gradual progression, and (d) cross training.
