A new organization announced Thursday that it wants to become the
recognized U.S. leader in protecting young athletes. The research-based
National Youth Sports Health & Safety Institute a partnership between the
American College of Sports Medicine and Sanford Health, an integrated
health-care system based in Fargo, N.D., and Sioux Falls, S.D. will
initially focus on four key areas:
.
.
Mild traumatic brain injuries and concussions
Heat illness and injury risk
Overuse, overload and injury risk
Unique clinical conditions in youth athletic populations, such as
Type-1 diabetes and eating disorders
.
.
According to the ACSM, the need for the Institute is underscored by a new
poll that shows 91 percent of Americans believe sports participation is
important for children and adolescents, and 94 percent agree more needs to
be done to ensure the health and safety of youth sports participants.

The American College of Sports Medicine and Sanford Health are embarking
on a partnership that holds great promise for our young athletes and those
who work with and care for them, along with their parents and families,
said Thomas Best, M.D., Ph.D., past president of ACSM. Our expertise and
our shared objective of helping young athletes enjoy sports more safely
have led to the birth of this institute that has unprecedented potential
to improve the experience of our youth engaged in sport and physical
activity. We look forward to a deep and beneficial collaboration for
decades to come.
.
The National Youth Sports Health & Safety Institute will be under the
guidance of a leadership board composed of recognized individuals from
across the nation with extensive clinical and scientific expertise and
passion for youth sports and the myriad health and safety challenges
facing young athletes.
.
There is no question our young people need to be active, and participating
in youth sports is an important component to that activity. However, too
many of these young athletes are doing too much, too fast some even
suffering serious, life-threatening and life-altering injuries. This new
institute will support youth athletics while also creating guidelines to
protect their health and safety, said Michael F. Bergeron, Ph.D., FACSM.
Bergeron, who serves as executive director of the new National Youth
Sports Health & Safety Institute, is also director of the National
Institute for Athletic Health & Performance at Sanford Health.
.
The public announcement on Capitol Hill today included representatives
from both Sanford Health and ACSM along with South Dakota Senator John
Thune and North Carolina Representative Mike McIntyre, both champions of
youth sports and safety. Congressman McIntyre, who co-chairs the Youth
Sports Caucus, will serve on the leadership board of the new institute.
