Popis: Recently, opposing trends have appeared to be either excessiveness or lack in the frequency of exercise or sports during childhood, both of which are believed to be associated with various sports-related injuries. In childhood, the bones, muscles, and ligaments are developing and not yet matured; though soft and flexible, their relative low strength is inadequate to tolerate abnormal external forces. Although a child's body normally has substantial self-healing ability, there is the risk of causing a lifelong deformity or growth disorder if not treated properly. A comprehensively organized system for the prevention, early detection, and treatment of bone and joint disorders in children should be developed in the future.
