I saw something this morning about how 50% of youth sport injuries come from overuse and specialization. Which reminded me of an article I wrote for
Georgia Coalition for Physical Activity and Nutrition (GPAN). It is on youth sport participation and health. I will have to dig up my Youth sport specialization article I wrote for the GA Games.

The short of the long is I believe parents think children are getting their daily physical activity and exercise needs because they are involved with sports. This may not necissarily be the case.
