The risk of injury... accompanies participation in almost all sporting activities.
It was estimated that two out of three runners and as many as 50 percent of high school football players are injured each year.
Time magazine conducted a poll among various age groups and estimated that 75 percent of people who jog will experience an injury serious enough to curtail their exercise program for seven days every year.
As the number of participants in both competitive and recreational sports has increased, there has been a corresponding increase in the number of injuries.
Athletic injuries can have
profound , long lasting effects on athletes. Injuries, particularly those
not properly cared for, may develop into conditions that can last a
lifetime. Thankfully, the health benefits of regular physical activity far out-weigh the long term risks of injury. Get well to stay well! |
