How do you develop an individual? How do you really see if changes are being made? Simple answer.... test/train/retest. When looking for a coach, trainer, etc for yourself or your youth find one that benchmarks with baseline data and retests to see/show the programming is working. Words are simply that words. Science, it’s application, and demonstrates change/results matter more. #kelownafitness #youthsports #kelownasports #kelownayouth

Background Sports injuries in young athletes are a public health issue which deserves special attention. Effective prevention can be achieved with training programmes originating from the field of physical therapy and medicine. Sources of data... A systematic literature search on injury prevention in youth sport was performed in the MEDLINE database. Areas of agreement For prevention programmes to reduce sports injuries, critical factors must be considered, such as training content, duration and frequency, as well as athlete compliance. Areas of controversy Home-based programmes could be inferior to supervised training, but are efficient if compliance is high. So far prevention programmes have focused on team sports and their efficiency in individual sports remains to be proven. Growing points Active prevention programmes focusing specifically on the upper extremity are scarce. Initiatives enhancing the awareness of trainers, athletes and therapists about risk factors and systematic prevention measures should be encouraged. #kelownafitness #athletedenacademy #kelownayouth @kelowna_fitness @athletedenacademy
