injuries are injuries that
occur during sports,
athletic activities, and exercising.
In the United
States,
there are approximately 30 million teenagers and children
who participate in some form of organized sports. Of
those, about three million athletes 14 and under experience
a sports injury annually.
According to a study performed at Stanford
University,
21 percent of the injuries observed in elite college
athletes caused the athlete to miss at least one day of
sport, and approximately 77 percent of these injuries
involved the knee, lower leg, ankle, or foot. In
addition to those sports injuries, the leading cause of
death related to sports injuries is traumatic
