Sports Injuries in Children

Sports injuries in children occur when the body is hurt during physical activity, often due to falls, collisions, or overuse. Common injuries include sprains, strains, fractures, and growth plate injuries. Children’s bones and tissues are still developing, making them more susceptible to certain injuries. Prompt diagnosis and proper treatment are important to prevent long-term damage. To reduce risks, children should use appropriate safety gear, follow rules, and gradually increase activity levels. Ensuring proper hydration and rest also helps prevent injuries. Regular check-ups with healthcare professionals can identify potential issues early and support safe participation in sports.
