High School Sports Injuries

In a recent look at the incidence of injuries in high school sports in the American Journal of Sports Medicine it shows that football, wrestling, girls basketball and girls soccer made up the top four sports where most of the injuries occur. The three most common injuries were fractures, complete ligament sprains and incomplete ligament sprains. The three most common areas of injury were knee, ankle and shoulder.
With this information we can tailor programs better suited to meet the needs of the prevention of injuries in high school student athletes.
