Youth Sports Safety Resources

Can youth sports injuries be prevented?
Most sports injuries can be prevented, even predicted! The first step in preventing sports injuries is finding out why sports injuries occur. Sports injuries may be caused by:

Individual risk factors (such as medical conditions)
Inadequate physical exams before participating (every child should get a sports-specific physical exam before each season)
- Find out what UM experts say about heart screening for young athletes.
Lack of pre-season conditioning
Lack of safety equipment, or poorly fitted, improper equipment
Lack of proper eye protection
Teaming up by age instead of size
Unsafe playing fields, or surfaces
Improper training or coaching, or lack of instruction
Fatigue
Not warming up, cooling down and stretching properly
Playing while injured
Stress and inappropriate pressure to win
Temperature
Poor nutrition or hydration

Soccer: soccer players

Common injuries: Bruises, cuts and scrapes, headaches, sunburn.
Safest playing with: Shin guards, athletic supporters for males, cleats, sunscreen, water.
Injury prevention: Aerobic conditioning and warmups, and proper training in “heading” (that is, using the head to strike or make a play with the ball).

Listen to the American Academy of Pediatrics Minute for Kids about preventing soccer injuries
The American Academy of Pediatrics makes these recommendations [5]:
- “Protective eyewear and mouth guards may help reduce the number of some nonfatal head and facial injuries.
- Further research is needed to determine if rule changes, equipment modifications, or further safety interventions can reduce the number of other injuries.
- Because soccer-related fatalities have been strongly linked with head impact on goalposts, goalposts should be secured in a manner consistent with guidelines developed by the manufacturers and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
- The potential for permanent cognitive impairment from heading the ball needs to be explored further. Currently, there seems to be insufficient published data to support a recommendation that young soccer players completely refrain from heading the ball. However, adults who supervise participants in youth soccer should minimize the use of the technique of heading the ball until the potential for permanent cognitive impairment is further delineated.
- Violent behavior and aggressive infractions of the rules that tend to decrease broad participation in youth sports should be strongly discouraged. Parents, coaches, and soccer organizations should work to promote enforcement of all safety rules and strongly encourage sportsmanship, fair play, and maximum enjoyment for the athletes.
- Pediatricians should encourage efforts to increase participation in all forms of physical activity, including youth soccer. Because soccer is a valuable component of physical activity and fitness for youth in the United States, pediatricians should work with other members of the community to make it safer for young people. “

6 Ways to Reduce Soccer Injuries

Don't consider stretching a warm-up. You may hurt yourself if you stretch cold muscles. So before stretching, warm up with light walking, jogging or biking at low intensity for five to 10 minutes. Or better yet, stretch after you exercise when your muscles are warmed up. Also, consider holding off on stretching before an intense activity, such as sprinting or track and field activities. Some research suggests that pre-event stretching before these types of events may actually decrease performance.

Mathematical Sketching

Mathematical sketching is an educational concept that uses modern computer technological tools like digital pen, software, and touch screens to sketch mathematical problems in a way that will show the real life application for such problems. A math pad is the result of this creative idea.

"Mathematical sketching lets users create dynamic illustrations through the association of hand written mathematics and free-form drawings. These dynamic illustrations have the potential to provide useful insights into a variety of abstract concepts in Physics. Thus, mathematical sketching lends itself, with its pencil-and-paper-based interaction approach, to be a natural interface to intelligent tutoring applications."*

"Dr. Joe LaViola, a professor in the College of Engineering and Computer Science,
...and several colleagues are working to commercialize the program and started a software company based in Boston, Massachusetts. He sees the application being commercially available in as little as one to two years. Currently, testing of the application is being conducted with Calculus I students at UCF and he will extend the tests to Calculus II...Teachers have been overwhelmingly positive (of the program),” said LaViola. “Not only is it a tool for teachers to explain math concepts, students also benefit by being able to visualize them, which adds to their understanding. Although the program is currently only being tested at the high school and freshman college level, its reach could easily extend to middle and elementary school students as well,” added La Viola."**
