The American Medical Society of Sports Medicine released
a new position statement regarding overuse injuries and burnout in youth
sports. The document begins with a nice executive summary of the position
statement. The statement defines overuse injury; describes the relevant
epidemiology and risk factors; and discusses readiness for sports, sport
specialization, and prevention strategies.
