“…Boys and girls as young as 6–8 years of age participate in resistance training activities and the weekly training volume (combined sports practice, sports competition and resistance training) of some teenage athletes rivals that of adults 17 18. Moreover, advanced training programmes that include weightlifting movements and plyometrics are now recommended as part of performance-enhancing and injury-reducing youth programmes 19 20 21 22.…”

Resistance training among young athletes: safety, efficacy and injury prevention effects

A literature review was employed to evaluate the current epidemiology of injury related to the safety and efficacy of youth resistance training. Several case study reports and retrospective questionnaires regarding resistance exercise and the competitive sports of weightlifting and power-lifting reveal that injuries have occurred in young lifters, although a majority can be classified as accidental. Lack of qualified instruction that underlies poor exercise technique and inappropriate training loads could explain, at least partly, some of the reported injuries. Current research indicates that resistance training can be a safe, effective and worthwhile activity for children and adolescents provided that qualified professionals supervise all training sessions and provide age-appropriate instruction on proper lifting procedures and safe training guidelines. Regular participation in a multifaceted resistance training programme that begins during the preseason and includes instruction on movement biomechanics may reduce the risk of sports-related injuries in young athletes. Strategies for enhancing the safety of youth resistance training are discussed.

Purpose The aim of this 15-year nationwide study was to investigate the trend in ACL reconstructive surgeries in patients younger than 15 years old in Italy, as well as their social and economic impact. Materials and methodsThe National Hospital Discharge records (SDO) collected by the Italian Ministry of Health in the 15-year period between 2001 and 2015 were analyzed. This contains anonymous data including patients' age, gender, ICD-9-CM codes for diagnosis and intervention, census region, region of hospitalization, length of the hospitalization, and public or private reimbursement. Results 1,350 ACL reconstructions were performed in Italy in the population younger than 15 years old, with an incidence rate ranging from 0.16 to 2.04 procedures per 100,000 age-matched individuals. Similarly, the percentage of surgeries in 0-14 year old patients increased with respect to the total number of ACL reconstruction from 0.13% in 2001 to 0.95% in 2015. The age range 10-14 years is the most involved, accounting for 97.3% of surgeries recorded in the study period. The male:female ratio was 1.05 and most of these procedures were performed in the North of Italy (78.3%). Conclusion ACL reconstructions in patients aged 10-14 years are increasing constantly since 2001, and thus, speciic actions aimed to deine the best management strategy as well as national educational programs to prepare the future surgeons to this new reality are mandatory in the interest of the public health. Level of evidence Level III.

“…As crianças são particularmente vulneráveis às lesões músculo-esqueléticas. Esta vulnerabilidade pode ser justificada pela imaturidade do sistema músculo-esquelético bem como pelas características anatómicas e biomecânicas (Carty, 1998;Micheli & Nielson, 2008).…”

By observing children's entry or exit from a basic education school, any adult who is not familiar with this image, immediately will note that many children must carry "too much weight" in the backpack and that this "overload" could harm their health in the medium and long term. Carrying school supplies and other assets by pre puberty students is a problem that concerns the whole school community. Although every year, at the beginning of the school year, several attention calls to the problem appear in media and some organizations disseminate several recommendations to alleviate the problem, in practice, nothing concrete is done to change this situation. Before advancing in the text it should be defined, in a very simplified way, what is meant by "normal gait". In this thesis, "normal gait", is defined as being made without overload with self-selected speed; as opposed to "normal gait" we have "pathological gait." One concern of education community is to know what is the maximum load limit that a child can carry, ie, when the load leads to a pathological gait, impacting on the normal development of the child. This is the problem that we propose to study in this thesis. Neuromuscular system controls human movement. Gait is described as a set of repeated movement cycles determined by a multifactorial set considered determinate to the same pattern. When is wanted to make a gait assessment it is important to include more than one analysis technique, been used in this work some like kinematics, muscle activity (EMG), energy cost and thermography. When the motion is not carried out with the minimum possible energy expenditure, there are changes in its kinematic pattern, in muscle activation and temperature detected at the body surface.
