“…Furthermore, the older players sustained four to five times as many lower back problems. Low back pain has been reported to be common in other youth team sports as well,44 and in a growing athlete it is related to a high prevalence of structural pathology, such as spondylolysis 45…”

“…Eight studies reported overuse injuries of the elbow and/or shoulder as outcome measure. These studies were published between 1997 and 2017 in the USA, Australia, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg . Four studies collected data prospectively, while the other studies had a retrospective study design …”

“…Three studies used “chronic/overuse” as definition for overuse injury without further specification . The other definitions used were “injury with a gradual onset without any known trauma” and “microtrauma caused by chronic overload, without a single, identifiable cause.” Van der Sluis et al reported overuse injuries in tennis players if any difficulties in sports participation, reduction of training volume, effect on performance, or symptoms were present…”

Incidence, prevalence, and risk factors for elbow and shoulder overuse injuries in youth athletes: A systematic review

et al. 2019

Background:In order to create sport-specific preventive measures to enhance healthy sport participation in youth athletes, valid data on incidence, prevalence, and etiology of overuse injuries have to be identified. This systematic review aims to provide an update on incidence, prevalence, and risk factors for overuse injuries of the elbow and shoulder in youth athletes participating in overhead sports. Materials and Methods: MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched from inception until January 19, 2018, for studies that reported incidence, prevalence, or risk factors for overuse injuries or pain of the elbow and shoulder in youth overhead athletes. Results: In total, 36 studies were included. Incidence rates of overuse injuries of the elbow and shoulder were highest in tennis, baseball, and softball. Incidence and prevalence of elbow pain in baseball were 12%-58% and 17%-35%, respectively. Incidence of shoulder pain was 8%-32% for baseball, 47% for basketball, 63% for handball, and 52% for volleyball. Prevalence of shoulder pain was 9%-16% for baseball, 41% for basketball, 32%-49% for handball, and 40% for volleyball. Risk factors for pain were almost exclusively described for youth baseball players and included playing position, throwing technique, and intensity and duration of training. Conclusions: Incidence and prevalence of overuse injuries and pain of the elbow and shoulder are high in youth overhead athletes. Interpretation is challenging as different definitions are used to report overuse injuries and pain. Risk factors in youth baseball are largely covered by preventive pitch-count restrictions; knowledge on risk factors in other overhead sports is currently lacking.

“…The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine made a position statement concerning repetitive injuries and burnout, which are common problems in sports. (DiFiori et al, 2014) According to Leppanen et al (2017), there are multiple causes for sports injuries and, depending on the sport, some parts of the athlete's body is more likely to be injured, and the number of athletes getting injured is increasing. Drawing from this finding, we decided to carry out the present research, under the title "The Most Common Injuries Among Jordanian Wheelchair Athletes".…”

The aim of sport is to spread peace and cooperation amongst human beings. Sport is not exclusive, as it allows everyone to exercise physical activities, in a recreational or competitive manner, whether the person is young or old, male or female. Physical activities and practices sports have a positive impact on the individual's physiological abilities, psychological and social aspects. Nowadays, many athletes and trainers are focused on achieving high results and winning sports medals, as a way to gain money, recognition and fame and find fulfillment in their life, to investigate the professionalism within ethical principles. Over the past several centuries, people with special needs have suffered from exclusion and negligence. They have been regarded as lacking abilities and they have been treated as "thirdclass" citizens by governmental policies. Particularly, during the centuries Before Christ people with special needs were killed. Over the centuries, this group finally started to enjoy the right to live and to practice sports in a more accessible way, enabling them to practice sports activities and to win medals at both regional and global levels. (Corbett, & Barton., 2018) Individual sports are more personal and skill-based than collective sports in which the team cooperates for the achievement of sports results. Moreover, they do not provide the same turnout, participation, attention, follow-up and encouragement of collective sports. Individual games include several complex skills, and they are characterized by a high effort exerted by the player in training and competition. This effort is accompanied by a high probability of sports injuries because of the pressure on various body organs, in particular the motor system, represented by multiple body systems; bones, joints, muscles, and tendons. The efforts vary from one sport game to another, depending on the type of skills performed. (Chaitow, L., &DeLany, J., 2011) Physical activity during adolescence provides multidimensional health benefits, but it is worth highlighting that the risk of sports injuries increases along with the volume, intensity and competitiveness of sports activities. Youth team sports carry a higher injury risk than individual
