One-Sport Athletes More Prone to Injuries, Study Says

Athletes specializing in one sport instead of multiple sports are more likely to acquire injuries, experts say.


Thirty million children participate in organized sports, according to Safe Kids USA.


Safe Kids USA is a network of organizations that helps to prevent unintentional childhood injury, the leading cause of death and disability for children ages 1 to 14.


Participation in high school athletics is increasing, with more than 7.3 million high school students participating annually, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations.


The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that high school athletes account for an estimated 2 million injuries, 500,000 doctor visits and 30,000 hospitalizations each year.

Multiple sports are good for kids at the middle and high school levels because different sports work different mechanics (joints and body movement), he said. It gives a baseball payer a rest from that mechanic to using another mechanic that will, in most cases accentuate his or her other sport.


The problem with one sport specialization year-round is that you irritate and you constantly push a joint (in the arm or knee) that needs rest, he said. In a lot of these cases, these joints are pushed beyond what they should be doing at the time.
